Legal Insurrection by William A. Jacobson April 1, 2024
It rings true to me. We’ve endured three years of abusive Republican text and email solicititations after a single donation through WinRed.
We made a mistake.
We once donated to a Republican Senate candidate through WinRed back in the 2020 cycle. We have endured three years of non-stop, abusive, insulting, and threatening text message and email solicitations from a wide variety of Republican candidates, some we had never heard of. Yes, a lot from people soliciting for Trump, but that’s a minority of the messages. I received two today that were borderline profane; I wish I had screenshot them, something about a candidate having “balls”.
There’s no way to turn off the texts, blocking doesn’t help because they keep coming from different numbers. I’ve “unsubscribed” from more email lists than I can count, but they keep coming from new lists.
I’ve posted about this problem several times on Twitter.
