Trump backers get 'revenge gifts' from relatives: donations to liberal causes
The Guardian ^ | 23 December 2016 | Joanna Walters

When 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.

“Thank you once again Leftist for showing us what hysteric ignorant children you are. Looking forward to the 10-15 US Senate seats your childish stupidity and rabid hysterics will cost the Democrats in 2018”

I was going to write the same thing, but you expressed my thoughts perfectly! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I would laugh and tell them that they donated their own money to a liberal cause and didn’t get me anything. It might even be a “human fund” moment for all I know :)

Had a relative do that every year. I suspected she sent the charity $100 but the charity spent twice that sending out thank you cards to the countless clients, friends and relatives she named.

“Liberalism is a mental disorder”

These people need their picture next to the definition...

What a bunch of small minded people...

Hard to believe one can be so vested in a political candidate that you piss on your family’s leg...because they aren’t...

Oh do I have the answer. Simply contact the organization and demand a refund. Be forceful and you will get the money. Them notify your lib relative.

It is time to take drastic action against some of these people and set some behavorial standards. I have had all of this I can take. Their point of view is completely unacceptable and literally at the point of death I’m not going to accept it. Either let it go or you are literally going to start something you can’t finish.

Southerners don’t have to be hateful. Anytime I say “Bless your heart” in my warmest and most sincere voice, in the back of my mind I am also thinking: “You just can’t help being so stupid, after all the time you were apparently dropped on your head.”

It has been happening for quite a while, but it does seem to be intensifying.

>50% chance the libs actually donated to them, instead they are just virtue signaling like a crack addicted peacock.

Hahahahaha!

Call the recipients, demand your money back and the deletion of your name from any donor list. Send a cease and desist order to the relative and indicate that if they do not comply, two can play this game and your donation in their name will be to the organization they most hate on the planet.

Did you notice that none of the people interviewed gave donations to the Clinton Foundation or the Clinton Global Initiative although there was one to the DNC.

Being a liberal in my big fat Italian family is akin to betraying Omerta :)

You are very lucky. My husband and I are the only conservatives in my big fat Irish family. We went out of town on Thanksgiving so as not to hear the liberal wailing and weeping. Had we gone to dinner with them, I would have been a walking, talking lightening rod for their anger and despair. They leave my husband alone for some reason.
