And I’m pissed.
*Daily* I get text messages from either a trump volunteer campaigning for him, or a local official or would-be official asking for my vote because they support Trump.
I didn’t vote for Trump last time, I haven’t been registered as a Republican in at least two years, and I’m very careful about distributing my cell number. And it’s a different candidate every time.
I reply to each and every text with exactly what I think about Trump and his supporters and then I block. But I wish I could identify how I’m getting on these lists to begin with and get back off the list.

I don’t blame you for being pissed off! I am annoyed that I get a weekly news from the White House email, and that is nowhere as invasive as texts.

They have my cell number and text me by my husban'd's name on the text. I've had this number for over 10 years. I answer the text letting them know that I will never vote for Trump. . It makes me happy.

When they texted me, I replied to take me off their list because there was no way in hell that I was voting for him.
On a side note, I hate Trumptard or Libtard. It is a play on the word retard and the use of it is pretty much the same. Perhaps there is a better word?

That stinks. I got one text but nothing since then. I can’t remember if I opted out or what. I did recently unsubscribe from his emails that have been coming since I did a survey.

I’ve been getting texts from republicans for several years now. I haven’t been a registered republican for over a decade. It’s obvious that they know they are going to be blocked, as I block the number and they text the next week from a different number. Do they really think that if they keep texting me, I’ll change my mind and vote for the Cheeto?

Cmon, guys....where’s your resistance strength? Every minute you can keep these guys on the line is a minute they can’t be talking to people who might donate or vote for Trump.
Be like the guy who keeps scammers on the line as long as possible so they can’t scam vulnerable people.
Get them to tell you why trump is so great. Ask for details about his plan to keep America great. Find out when his next rally will be. Tell them which parts of the First Lady you find most attractive - if you haven’t seen them yet, google it.
And then, ask about his emails.
See, an easy way to kill 20 minutes or so while depriving his campaign of money.

I was getting Trump text messages until I replied asking if they had seen his tax returns. Silence......

You guys are cracking me up. I get dozens, maybe hundreds, of emails daily from Democratic candidates and causes. I know it’s because I send them money and they share my name with each other, and I don’t begrudge them, but I’m spending half my day deleting emails. The minute this election is over, win or lose, I’m unsubbing from every one of them. I’m sure they’ll find me again in time for the next election.

I’ve given them exactly zero indication to believe I would ever support them. I haven’t contributed to or even voted for any of them so who is doing the sharing?

But did you used to be a registered Republican? They may have picked up your name/number from some older list. ETA I did start getting texts from the Biden campaign and I unsubbed from that fast. I definitely don’t want to be getting texts in addition to the emails. ugh

Just wanted to say thank you for changing it. As a parent of special needs children, anything that is a play on the R word pings my radar. It was pretty big of you to take the suggested correction to heart. Thank you!

I got a text a couple weeks back asking if they could count on my support for his re-election. I replied with three lines of HAHAHAHAHAHA

I got an e-mail but no text. I have no idea why they reached out to me. I'm as liberal as they come.
