What Would You Do?

Out of the blue my reTRUMPlican Sister in Law just sent my wife a "My Pillow".
She knows that we both are hard core Democrats and 100% anti-Trump so this is what she does.
I suggested to my wife that she go online and sign her sister up for every Democrat mailing list she can find.
She should also sign her up for BLM and Planned Parenthood mailing lists.

Be nice. She's only trying to help you. Do the same and help her. Buy her a copy of this book: Deprogramming Victims of Brainwashing and Cult-like Mind Control: Methods You Can Apply

are quite different from hers and you simply did not feel comfortable having the product of a trump toady in your house.

Or send it back to her with the same message.

ETA: In the past, my policy with my MAGAt relatives has been to try and change the subject or move past the topic. NOW all that is over. I'm calling them out on everything they do. Not nastily, but firmly and with a restatement of my values and the fact that I don't share theirs. It is ALWAYS the republiQans who have to pull shit like you describe and pick the fight.

No more. And if they don't like it, too damn bad.

I'd probably empty my own bladder on it, set it outside to dry, then send it back to her with a note saying something like "can't use this, smells bad."

If that's too harsh, just give it to an animal shelter for some dog to chew. Those things aren't fit for human use.
