CAH would never admit it, but I feel like at least part of this can be seen as political commentary.

From the top of their page: "The holidays are here, and everything in America is going really well" (emphasis mine).

It's hard for me not to read the last part of that as sarcasm, given many people's reaction to the recent US election.

Perhaps CAH is saying that the US is digging itself a hole by electing Trump and a Republican Senate.

> Cards Against Humanity is digging a tremendous hole in the earth.

"tremendous" is one of the words that Donald Trump is very known for using. So I think you're right.

People say it's the best hole all the time.
It's going to be yuge.
And other people are going to pay for it...
I don't think there's a huge amount of subtlety about why they're doing this. There's a pretty Trump-shaped negation to all their remarks.
Given that when I donated, the subject of the receipt email was "Donald Trump will be a terrible president who makes your family functionally poorer", I think we can call this case closed
My feeling was similar - it looks like Trump wants to build a wall, so they are digging a hole in sympathetic response. Both acts of self interested gesture politics.
> To celebrate Black Friday, Cards Against Humanity is digging a tremendous hole in the earth
Yep I thought this exact thing.
> Where is the hole? America. And in our hearts.
That and the 'feeling something' line really got me.
Looks more anti-consumerist than specific politics tbh.
Considering they came out with a Trump Survival Kit, not too much of a stretch.
Not a survival kit, a bug-out bag. It had South American currency, a mexican citizenship application, and—my favorite—a golden locket with Obama's picture (among other things).
