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.

If I received news of a donation to Planned Genocide in my name I would send a reply. “ I understand you have made a donation to an organization dedicated to murdering innocent children. I forgive you and pray God does also “

While the NRA would annoy, here are some organizations that make liberals just froth at the mouth:

Family Research Council
Focus on the Family
National Right to Life
Traditional Values Coalition
Americans For Tax Reform
Citizens United

And my personal favorite, Trail Life USA, the conservative alternative to the Boy Scouts.

If someone were to send me a donation to pp “in my name” I would find the most disgusting heart-wrenching picture od=f a dead aborted baby and send it to them with a “your donation at work” note attached, and then add the real background of marge sanger’s eugenics speeches and writings, ending with “the KKK appreciates your support.”

I have a great Christmas idea for the little snowflakes in your family.
Give them a little basket of stocks in a price range you’re willing to purchase.
Let them learn about profits and growth. With a little skin in the game they might be more more willing to recognize accomplishments by Trump instead of only looking for the negative side.

Instead of removing from the will- just send a note that since they are in such a giving mood, that their portion of inheritance has been donated to your favorite charity, in their name.

another story about a man and his ‘boyfriend’ being absolutely bitchy and intolerant...

we are expected to be tolerant of their lifestyles but yet they can snot all over people with different opinions?

Over the past twelve years I have shed myself of virtually every leftie “friend”. Mostly because I learned that their friendship was conditional and that the conditions were intolerable.

The closest example of behavior to this article was in 2006 when, after many good-natured arguments about politics and science, my buddy presented me with a copy of “An Inconvenient Truth” during a Christmas visit. Like I say, we had pretty thoroughly argued the points and he knew my position about global warming and algore.

I finished my visit with he and his wife and departed, leaving my “gift” on a side table. I never went back to visit again and the following year he and his wife moved to Canada (ostensibly to get away from right-wing politics).

No loss there.

Yes, it is. And I believe you understand fully the meaning of the word ‘diabolical.’

Merry Christmas to you!

“Next year the giver can get an official you are cut out of the will letter.”

Why wait? No time like the present to put things right. It’s also time to write off the liberal a$$holes whose BS you’ve tolerated for the past 8 years.
