The best part is that fully half of these are addressed to my mom…

    I’m getting this shit from everywhere I’ve ever lived. I can normally ignore my phone for the most part, but I’m actually waiting on updates about the health of a relative. And this shit needs to stop. No one’s changing their mind cause of a text, guys. No one’s like, “Oh yeah, is it time to vote?” Please, just stop.

    Protip: don’t scribble shit out in screenshots. Too easy for people to figure out what’s underneath. Put filled in rectangles over whatever you don’t want people to see so there’s nothing that shows through. Most built in photo editors on phones have this functionality.

      Filled in rectangles are so cold and impersonal. The scribbles are organic and remind me I need to brush my hair. Who cares if someone reverse engineers OP’s mom’s name?

    I got one that threatened me saying they will know if I voted or not.

    It was also sent to the wrong address and someone else had to give it to me asking if I was ok when they saw the hand written threat.

    It’s fucking insane.

    I’ve been getting political spam for Florida for years every election cycle. Almost always for Republicans, but I did get one Harris message the other day. The catch? I’ve never lived in Florida and haven’t even been there in over 15 years.
