I think we should make a drinking game of Trump and Pence, but instead of taking a drink, you make a donation to an organization that supports the groups and causes that Republicans target with their mongrel politics. For example, every time you see Trump's hair flapping in a breeze on the internet or TV, donate $5 to the ACLU or similar, or every time you see Pence's sith glare, donate to LGBTQ organizations. Or every time a Trump surrogate denies he said or did something that is clearly recorded and documented, donate to an organization that promotes education and critical thinking. You can probably think of better ones.
I can't afford much, but I've made about a dozen $5 donations in the last couple of days (and still going) when I see particularly contemptible headlines or images, and putting Trump or Pence as "in honor of" on those that have that feature. Some have "note" sections where you can put their names. Then I post on social media that I donated and why.
If you can't donate, instead just post a status update about how you would play the donating game if you could and why.
Good or bad, the internet is part of our world. It's a cacophony of misinformation and bad behavior, yes, so for those of us who spend time on social media anyway, why not assert our humane values into that mess as much as possible?
