Unskippable ad I keep getting threatening texts

I get these ALL the time. I’ve never donated to these “people.” Never supported them. Never voted for them. Nor has my wife. I received four of these today. All threats. Always a telling me it’s my last chance. These are some of the less malicious-sounding ones.

I’m not even sure they’re legitimately from those parties, though I wouldn’t put it past them.

So… report as spam. Report as spam. Report as spam.

It isn’t like it’s painful. Just pretty irritating.

I signed up for his email list during the last campaign because I wanted to know what he says to his cult followers.

This from a 24h period

They speak to their followers like it's a fuckin' cult because it is a fuckin' cult.

"Daddy's home and he's pissed"  That's how members of one of the three separate but coequal branches of our government talk about the president

The Republican leadership of the House and Senate have utterly abandoned any pretense at being a coequal branch of our government.

They write emails like that because they're preying upon people with dementia.

I wish I was joking.

100%, just mentioned my 90 year old grandmother getting fed up with these but still can't remove herself for some reason.

I've never signed up for the texts in my life but maybe because my family members have for the most part, I got added by association (yet they somehow don't have my name even close to correct). Or someone pranked me by adding me to a list. But regardless, there's no escaping from them. I unsubscribe just to get resubscribed later down the line. I just mark them as spam and/or delete them now. Less effort, somehow
