The popular party card game, Cards Against Humanity, says it bought a plot of vacant land along the U.S.-Mexico border to delay President Donald Trump building a border wall in that area.
The effort to oppose the border wall comes as part of the Chicago-based company’s holiday promotion, "Cards Against Humanity Saves America," a campaign that encourages people to pay $15 in return for six "surprises" in December, the Washington Examiner reported.
The company released a promotional video as part of the marketing campaign on Tuesday. The video is set in the future and describes how Trump led to the demise of the United States, but Cards Against Humanity intervened to save America with its holiday promotion.
"The struggle was real, things just kept getting worse," an elderly actor with the title of "millennial" said in the video. "And then, it happened: Cards Against Humanity announced this crazy holiday marketing campaign, and it only cost $15."
The narrator described how, on the first day of the campaign, the company bought the aforementioned land on the U.S.-Mexico border, and retained a law firm to help prevent the government from ever building the wall.
Another actor, labeled "historian," said everyone who participated in the promotion–as in, they sent in $15– "was given a small portion of the land. That way, together, they owned it. The government would have to take them to court and fight in order to put up a wall."
On the campaign's newly launched website, Cards Against Humanity posted the promotion video and a statement that the "government is being run by a toilet."
"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," the company said on the campaign website. "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."
It seems Cards Against Humanity understands eminent domain laws, and therefore, realizes it will not actually prevent the building of the wall if the government chooses to go through with Trump’s plans. However, according to the website statements, the company does plan to make the process as long and expensive as possible.
The card game company says it’s saving America from "injustice, lies, racism, the whole enchilada," and tells people "to sit this one out" if they voted for Trump, isolating half its market.
