Cards Against Humanity does not mince words. In the promotional material for the humorous card game's holiday promotion, "Cards Against Humanity Saves America [1]," the folks behind the game make their political views abundantly clear. "It's 2017, and the government is being run by a toilet," begins the promotional website, which later declares: "Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans." It's these views that have led Cards Against Humanity to purchase a chunk of territory along the US-Mexico border in an attempt to, if not foil President Donald Trump's border wall plan entirely, at least become a major pain in his ass.
The game makers debuted a plan to wreak havoc on the current presidential administration through a $15 holiday promotion, which ensures each purchaser six "America-saving" gifts over the course of December.

A significant one of these gifts is a portion of the game company's border territory, creating a large pool of landowners with whom the US government will have to deal while attempting to build a wall around the national border. CAH describes the effort [2] as follows:
"Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans. He is so afraid that he wants to build a twenty-billion dollar wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing. So we've purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.
On Day 1, all Cards Against Humanity Saves America recipients will get an illustrated map of the land, a certificate of our promise to fight the wall, some new cards, and a few other surprises."
An FAQ section of the CAH Saves America website [3] stays relatively vague about what comes with the promotion, but given its past holiday specials, recipients are sure to get a few laughs from whatever comes in the mail.
For the hell of it (and because I, too, want to save America with minimal cost and effort), I purchased the Cards Against Humanity holiday package for $15. During the purchase process, I was presented with a survey of . . . interesting questions.

I have the feeling I'm in for a treat; if America is saved in the process, it'll be a major bonus.
