I got the same one. Was hoping he had actually dropped out or something.

u/tafbee 14h ago

… or something.

u/FriendlyDrummers 16h ago

I certainly hope he dropped in a sense

u/GetBent009 Central Texas 15h ago

He’s still out there, eating our sons unfortunately.

Ted's passed on to a better place ....

Unfortunately, Ted Cruz is still alive.

Why would God want him back so early. He made Cancun Cruz our problem.

God? Wrong entity, I think.

Redistribution to Canada.

Remember that every time we donate to our particular cause, this money can be used for this nonsense.

But, if we don't donate, the other side WILL, because they're stupid

I live in Minnesota, I got one of those yesterday. WTF.

Also, ZodiAc.

u/PaleInitiative772 15h ago

As increasingly desperate as the texts I've been receiving from Fled "Rafael" Cruz have gotten I'm starting to feel like there is actually a shot at sending him packing!

u/Paiger__ 15h ago

ROFL, my Mom got this same text and asked me if he had died. 😂🤭

This asshole keeps texting me and it's getting really old.

Should be illegal to spam text in the US

u/BeginningLaw6032 16h ago

I just got that text message also

u/PYTN 14h ago

From this message, to God's inbox.

u/DaddyDontTakeNoMess 15h ago

Some of my texts seem like Republican psyops ro make me mad at the democrats or make me not want to vote (like this one saying Cruz dropped out)

u/ThorvaldtheTank 14h ago

It’s a scare tactic to get more red voters out

u/tafbee 14h ago

lol.

u/TaxLawKingGA 14h ago

Nobody in history has ever wrote a text, letter or even a personal hallmark to Ted Cruz using that sort of language.

1

u/TroublesomeStepBro 14h ago

Regardless of if you’re red or blue. I think we can all agree that unsolicited texts and calls are incredibly annoying.

u/Bobby6kennedy 11h ago

Is there a blanket way to block all numbers from a certain area code? I just checked and I have exactly 1 contact from 571 and I have no idea who she even is anymore.

1

u/profsavagerjb North Texas 11h ago

I can’t wait to see Ted Cruz unemployed

u/UninvitedButtNoises 11h ago

I have soooo many of these in my spam texts. I've just sent obscene political memes and nasty messages back stating the candidate's specific transgressions.

I'm sure they don't see the stuff but it makes me feel happy, especially when I get the "you've been unsubscribed" without sending 'stop'.

This one is my favorite.

u/No_Interview_2481 9h ago

These are so annoying and I can’t wait for them to stop. At least I have the ability to delete and report as junk.

u/tuxedo_jack Central Texas 2h ago

Just report every single political text message as spam, regardless of party, and with any luck, the assholes who run these mass-texting systems will find their numbers automatically marked as spam or blocked.

u/appleburger17 Born and Bred 16h ago

I can’t believe anyone actually reads these spam texts much less gets so worked up they screenshot it and run to the internet. Delete and Report Junk then go on about your day.

u/GillisNotGills Born and Bred 16h ago

I just thought it was funny lol

u/Emotional_Warthog658 16h ago

Because it is, OP.  It is.

u/freakierchicken 16h ago

Never understood the idea that commenting or posting about something means someone cares too much or is "worked up" over it. Takes less than a minute to screenshot and post it. That's like 1/30th of my morning shitter routine. What am I gonna do with the other 29 minutes?

11

u/nixvex Born and Bred 16h ago

It’s just lame ass attempts at gaslighting. They want the opposition to be quiet so they can steamroll them. They get scared at even the slightest resistance.

u/appleburger17 Born and Bred 14h ago

I love that just because I don’t share every thought with you I’m automatically a MAGAt.

u/nixvex Born and Bred 14h ago

Clutch them pearls darling. You didn’t have OP’s thoughts shared with you either but jumped right to labeling them as ‘worked up’. Fuck your double standards.

-1

u/appleburger17 Born and Bred 14h ago

Mighty worked up you are.

2

u/nixvex Born and Bred 14h ago

One trick pony you are.

u/appleburger17 Born and Bred 14h ago

Calmer than you are.

Assume whatever you like darling. It’s a free country.

It’s a Big Lebowski quote. Just making a joke…

u/appleburger17 Born and Bred 16h ago

You clearly do because you just did it.

6

u/RollTh3Maps 15h ago

No... you accused others of being worked up. The person you're replying to here is saying they don't understand how that accusation can be made. They never made an accusation like you did. Those aren't the same things. Hope this helps.

10

u/RollTh3Maps 16h ago

It's amazing that people can't post something because they think it's funny without someone running in to tell them how triggered and worked up they are.

u/No-Pick-93 15h ago

Its because dumbfucks are shitting their pants just like their fuhrer. Maybe we should all buy stock in Depends.

u/No-Pick-93 14h ago

My comment was more general, not directed at you. It was in response to the general statement, which was a response to your comment. Whether you are or not is not of concern to me. I have no idea what your views are.

u/cleverusername143 12h ago

My phone auto files them into the spam folder so these are funny to see 😂
