Cards Against Humanity is plotting to stymie Trump's wall

Cards Against Humanity has a plan to save humanity — or at least the United States.

The goal is to make it time-consuming and expensive for the government to build a wall on the land, as President Trump has promised.

Every year, Cards Against Humanity unveils a holiday promotion, which included selling customers actual poop back in 2014.

The plan's first phase premiered in a documentary-style commemoration of the entire campaign, featuring a now-elderly "millennial" lauding how Cards Against Humanity saved the U.S. You can watch the whole video below. Kathryn Krawczyk
