Trump backers get 'revenge gifts' from relatives: donations to "liberal" causes {barf alert}

When John Tereska’s Trump-voting family members open their gifts from him on Christmas Day, they will get a shock.

hen John Tereska’s Trump-voting family members open their gifts from him on Christmas Day, they will get a shock.

Inside pretty boxes they’ll find notes thanking them for making donations to organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Sierra Club that support causes expected to come under attack from the new administration.

“With my oldest brother, who I know voted for Trump, I’m going right for the jugular. I’m donating to the Democratic National Committee on his behalf,” Tereska said.

Tereska, an avid Hillary Clinton supporter, is so mad at the relatives who voted for Donald Trump in November that he’s giving money to progressive not-for-profit organizations in their names, in lieu of Christmas presents this year.

“It’s revenge giving,” he added, with relish.

Ken Urban, a playwright who teaches part time at Princeton University and voted Democratic, has made donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on behalf of his parents as their Christmas gifts.

Then they’re going to wonder why their families have cut off all communication.

Don’t believe it,liberals only champion their causes with other people’s money,namely telling tax payers what to do with their tax dollars

Those ‘gift’ givers are certainly going to be pleasantly surprised when they receive the thank-you notes for their donations to the NRA, huh...

It’s all good. I gave my Hillary-voting brother a “Make America Great Again” cap.

This is worse than that.

It’s an indicator of selfishness within the soul.

If I were Mr. Tereska’s brother, I’d make a donation to the NRA in his name.

Sounds like the work of a bitchy clique of high schoolers. The idea sounded original but the consequences wont be taken into account. Just like a teenager’s mind.

My lefty relatives won’t be donating to liberal causes in my name.

After I described the True Obama to them, and what he did to COngress, and to Libya, they will not be likely speaking with me anytime soon, hopefully years and years.

They should be thanked with donations, and a life membership to the NRA, and other such organizations. Make sure to sign them up for the hardcopy of American Rifleman. They'll love seeing it in their mailbox. 😈

Only the left would use charity as a way to be bitchy.

The planned parenthood contribution proves their souls are dead.

Respond by buying them a mass card with mass to be said at nearest Catholic church and mail the mass card to them.

Repeat as necessary.
