This is so “small.”

Many devastated Democrats have decided the best way to make a point to their loved ones with polar political views this holiday season is to put their money where they wish their relatives’ mouth were.

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.

“My father was the Republican mayor of my small home town in New Jersey and spent his career in the navy reserve. My mother told me she would never vote for Hillary Clinton because they have a friend who works for the CIA who said she was ‘difficult’. And there are aunts and uncles and cousins in my family who voted for Trump,” said Urban.

He is ruing the fact that he and his boyfriend agreed, before the election, to attend a big family Christmas gathering for the first time in 20 years.

But the SPLC donations on behalf of his parents will take the sting out of it.

“I thought I could make a point and in the process be generous to a human rights cause that is only going to become more important now,” said Urban.

Some were inspired after hearing about donations to Planned Parenthood made in the name of Vice-President elect Mike Pence, who is fiercely against abortion. Pence is sent an acknowledgment from the family planning organization for every contribution.

So the “peace and tolerance” crowd can convince itself that disrespecting their families is “generosity.”

Here’s an idea. Donate to whatever causes you want… and buy your Trump-supporting mom an actual present. It doesn’t have to be a “Make America Great Again” tee shirt – it could be a book or flowers.

Because, you know, politics is not everything.
