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.

The reason they don’t get in trouble is because people like you and me let them. Start with something simple like this, and then find the next thing you can do, and then the next.

I scrolled down the list of lawsuits against him the other day and felt so defeated. People are trying.

It’s not just him. Pick something you can do and do it. Every day.

Fair enough. That's good advice!
