But you never know. So here's a silver lining in a week when we could use some: Since last week's election, Planned Parenthood has received 160,000 donations. It probably helps that the organization rushed to reassure progressives the day afterward that they aren't going away, no matter what madness comes out of a Trump-Pence administration. And it probably didn't hurt that Elizabeth Warren made a point of going on the Rachel Maddow Show and
Unless someone needs or really wants something and you get it for them, giving a donation in their name instead of a physical present is not being a "righteous dick". The last thing I want is a family member to spend their time buying me some plastic crap from China... I mean unless it literally were a really good fake dog-doo.
I love pointing out to them that the first amendment is about the GOVERNMENT interfering with your speech. as I explain to them, they have the right to announce that they are assholes. I have the right to point out that they are, indeed, assholes. it never occurs to them that it works that way.
When he's reading prepared statements he acts that way -- it's because (in my entirely empirical-evidence-free opinion) that he doesn't understand or trust what he's saying, but is doing it because he's supposed to. Only when he's freewheeling it does he sound like he's enthusiastic. Of course, he's a salesman, and usually rolls through a list of ideas until he gets applause, but his audience buys it and he digs the attention.

We need to get the knitting Nannas into action. Organise your life experienced folks, get them snacks and a comfy chair and park them outside organisations / gun shops / wherever you need them. They can sit and chat, read, knit and give stink eye to those who they think need that. They would be peaceful and spread love - baked goods optional. Maybe dont have my nanna there as her baked goods you would end up...er baked. This can include males but the title is an umbrella.Everyone can learn to knit, play the ukelele or do things in peace and harmony but I know I cant behave badly around a senior.
How about a writing a check?
