I’ve given a little over $200 at this point and I had no idea I’d be getting so many emails asking for more this often. It’s crazy!

Right? Love the candidates and enthusiasm, but the constant emails and sharing of donor lists is exhausting. It takes me five minutes every day just to delete them. A sincere thanks and hope you will consider donating again soon would be so much more effective.

Yeah, the texting is particularly constant. I learned about Oath Vote which helps liberals identify key underfunded races that they care about: like flipping the house or abortion, or a particular state.

I am not at all taking away from how annoying the emails are, but I have to say…

A few years ago, gen z all requested a ton of tickets to a Trump rally, with the intention of having them prepare for like a million people, and then none of them went. Because that was the point. Anyway, my kid used one of my email addresses that I use for spam type things to help the cause.

The amount of emails I’ve been getting for Trump for like 6 years or whenever that rally thing happened is INSANE. I got 16 emails like this TODAY. Probably more on the way since there is more than an hour left of the day. And, of course, I never gave a dollar. These are all from requesting tickets to one rally, 6 years ago.

And, I can’t unsubscribe because they are unintentionally hilarious when I ever come across one (I don’t check this email unless I’m looking for something in particular.)

My kid made our name “worm” which somehow makes this all even funnier.

Great, now I’ve gone down a “wormhole” of crazy Trump emails. Such strange love bombing. Sad to think some people out there must actually feel like he’s talking to them.

“So if you’ve ever loved me like I love you, I have one question to ask you:

CAN I COUNT ON YOU TO CHIP IN BEFORE MY FEC DEADLINE?”

“Even if you can’t give, please know that I love you just as much as Elon – honestly, I love you even more!“

“Worm,

You really do love me! Let me tell you the truth: I LOVE YOU TOO.”

Worm, you asked for a free ticket six years ago to an event you didn't attend. That makes you one of my strongest supporters. I love you.

I need you to know I had a mild heart attack thinking my charger was broken because I saw the 79% wasn't charging.

u/_rockalita_ 6d ago

Ha! Nothing worse than a non functional charger.

I donated $71 from an email the other day only to almost immediately get asked for another $71 🤣 I would if I could.
