But thats insane that they've sent that many emails in one day. That's literally 9 emails within 1 day period. Lord if that was on my personal email I'd be VERY angry.
I'd be angry if these e-mails come without a link to unsubscribe. Otherwise - meh. Spammers gonna spam but as long as you can unspam them - fair game. But how they obtained the e-mail address seems to be the more interesting part of the story. I'm guessing there was a fine print along with the OP's original donation that basically said "we can do whatever we want with your personal info, including using it to spam you indefinitely and giving it to other spammers". Going to assume that all of these emails have links to unsubscribe in them, even if they weren't fully copied over when tvbcof posted the emails on here. Probably just pretty far down in the email to hide the fact that you actually can unsubscribe. ... You guys might be a bit noobish with this whole e-mail thing. It's a fundamental rule to NEVER EVER 'unsubscribe' to a scammer. All this does is confirm that the mail is being read and makes your addy much more valuable. It's quite difficult for people who grew up around 'Christain values' to comprehend, but spammers have a whole different way of looking at the world. 'Unsubscribing' only proves that you are a weak-minded sucker. And as such, your addy is a lot more valuable on the trading block. As I have demonstrated, A) The Trump clan are running this thing and have not sold or lost my e-mail addy. Yet. If you don't understand the technical details of this, please reserach it on your own since I don't have the time and interest to walk you through it. B) The Trump clan are the lowest of the low spammer types based on the frequency and content of their spam. There is zero reason to believe that they would act differently than any of the other spammers. Now it is actually true that there was some more to the mail. I honestly didn't see it because it was so well hidden. Here it is. This one from the " Your order has been received" spam mentioned above, but they are all the same (apart from, potentially, tracking codes buried in the URLs.) {Note: This is in tiny font and after a page of whitespace below the message:}

The "authorize by and composed of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc." text has some interesting legal ramifications I'll bet. You Trump apologists are at some point going to have to suck it up and recognize that the guy, and his whole tribe, are pond scum. Hopefully before the troops he sent out to stick you with their [not a] vaccine. If not, oh well. You'll probably be OK anyway if you are of the right tribe. If not, God help you!

You guys might be a bit noobish with this whole e-mail thing. It's a fundamental rule to NEVER EVER 'unsubscribe' to a scammer. All this does is confirm that the mail is being read and makes your addy much more valuable.
It's a single-use address so that's exactly what you should do. Unsubscribe and if they don't stop spamming - sue them. You'll be famous. That "rule" was important in 1990s maybe. It doesn't really matter now that most spam is quietly dropped before reaching your eyeballs. You don't lose anything by clicking "unsubscribe". But if you refuse to "unsubscribe" and keep complaining that they're spamming you - that's quite dumb.

Um, if it 'doesn't reach my eyeballs' anyway, why should I give the scammers even more value by validating the fact that it can? I would say that 'that's quite dumb'. I'm actually not complaining. What I am doing is demonstrating quite conclusively the type of slimeballs these Trump people are for the benefit of those who have not figured it out already. I actually get a fair bit of useful information out of the various spam from the various places. That is one of the reasons why I use a special e-mail addy almost every time I put an addy into a form. The spam doesn't bother me in the least unless I go out of my way to look at it. I'm just sharing because, you know, "Sharing is Caring". Also, of course, any fuck-head scammer needs to pay the price for their douchebaggery. Especially ones who should have better things to do with their energies than to try to milk ignorant oldsters for what few shekels they might have in their pockets. I expect that this whole thread will get picked up and interested parties can research it and look into it further.

What I meant is that (for those few spam e-mails that slip through) "unsubscribe" would be my first step since it costs me nothing, and if that doesn't help I would probably need to put more effort into filtering it off. The value gained by spammers would be negated anyway - if anything they'd be duped into thinking there's value when there isn't. I'm actually not complaining. What I am doing is demonstrating quite conclusively the type of slimeballs these Trump people are for the benefit of those who have not figured it out already.

Fair enough. The slimeballery exhibited in those e-mails is quite impressive, that's true.

You should have at least a bus ticket to some where. I'm going to have to complain to the Nigerian Trump Impersonators about that! I know it can be hard for people who are brought up a certain way to resist the tribal instinct, but you simply cannot suger-coat this one. The spam comes from some a coalition of several incorporated entities. One the RNC, and the other associated with the Trump brand. They use the domain names 'donaldtrump.com' and 'gop.com', and they've set up DKIM and DMARC to prove the mail is from them (and thus avoid spam filters.) Again, they also use an address for me that I gave only to them and nobody else. What people who only know 'Christain ethics' have trouble comprehending is that there are people in this world who truly believe that they are, for all intents and purpose, a different species. It is a God-given right and a duty to cheat 'Christians' and other simpletons. God made the goyim stupid and them smart for precisely this reason according to their belief system. You cannot shame people like these because it is simply not a shameful thing to lie and cheat as long as you victimize the goyim. Every time a Chosen person cheats and rips of a goyim it validates the contention about the ethnic supremacy of the Chosen people. This is Kabbalah stuff. The Chabad-Lubavitch (Jared and Ivanka/Yael's sect) are the most outspoken about these beliefs, and they happen to hold a vast amount of power on earth at this time for reasons which are to complex to get into here.

.... Here's some info on the Trump campaign selling your email and other info around for $$$$ - ....
Probably exactly the same thing going on regardless of party affiliation, right? Yeah, the articles that I threw in before spoke about how all candidates that are already established and have a good email list are doing this -- the selling portion of things. The ones that aren't so established in the political world or are running for a new district / state are going to need to buy emails to expand their list. Just like any other business would do to properly advertise. Not surprised by the selling, just stating it is all.

Was just reading an article about these campaign emails, which we've seen from this thread (and our personal lives) that the emails are just a constant barrage of spam and bait and switch from all people. The article from WSJ displayed the fact that these emails really do work, and even if you seem like you're desperate for money in the emails -- people are still more then willing to support the cause. Great read, see here - https://www.wsj.com/articles/your-inbox-is-overflowing-with-campaign-emailsand-its-not-going-to-stop-11562080763

Those obviously aren't going to have to same effectiveness as people who are running in your district -- or running for office such as the President, where it doesn't really matter where they live. Though I wouldn't be surprised if people from around the US donate to someone like Bernie in his next senate race. For this I'm talking about the 'celebrity politicans' who have clout in the entire country even if they're not running for President anymore. Typically these people have run for President though and failed.

Didn't know that, but it does make sense. He was one of the first people to really grow a national brand around him, and really brought in national spotlight as an outsider in regards to party affiliation. Guy said one of the most true statements that I've heard in so long: As in 2008, in 2012 Paul ultimately refused to endorse the ticket selected by the Republican Party. He said that there was no essential difference between Romney and his Democratic opponent, President Obama, on the most critical policies: "I've been in this business a long time and believe me there is essentially no difference from one administration to another no matter what the platforms... The foreign policy stays the same, the monetary policy stays the same, there's no proposal for any real cuts and both parties support it. Party doesn't change anything when there is a uniparty that controls it all. Ron Paul (not so much Rand IMO) was one of the few principled Libertarians to be in Congress and have a chance at moving farther. Nothing wrong with Rand, I just think he's more of a loyalist to Trump who drops his ideals when Trump says to do so. Nothing can really be done about that though, as Trump has this insane grip on the party.

If Trump does have "this insane grip on the party" he earned it the hard way. I tend to think that's not the case, most in the Repubbles are only loyal to their pocketbook and who enriches it. Rand was always bragging about his mailers and emailers and his techniques.

The guy literally brought on the first HOSTILE TAKEOVER of a political party from the top down. He demands loyalty from those below him, and his supporters (all across the US) demand it as well. That's the reason that Tubverville crushed Sessions in the recent race even though Sessions was a household name in Alabama and Tuberville was able to run for SENATE as his first time in politics. All politicians are loyal to the lobbyists -- I think that's Trump (and Biden) included now at this point.

Interesting perspective. But if Trump brought on the first Hostile Takeover, it was totally with our (the American people)'s encouragement and approval. Both the parties had gotten quite distanced from the people, and although Trump has partially corrected that with the Republicans, the Dems are drifting farther and farther away, with no end in sight. Without denying Trump et al email/spam, the absolute worst abuser spammer of the last two years was Beto O'Rourke. And they've started up again.

Political campaigns and PACs routinely both buy and sell mailing lists. In 2012, I tried signing up for clickbait mailing list that promised tickets to Obama's 2012 nomination in Charlotte that didn't actually get me tickets. I ended up on dozens of mailing lists. About two months before the election, I successfully unsubscribed to all the mailing lists, but days before the election, I magically started getting emails from Obama again, asking for money and reminding me to vote.

I wonder if anyone could have seen this coming... https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/20/trump-massive-texting-program-suspended-372302A test run of one of Donald Trump's most important voter-contact programs was abruptly shut down over the July 4 weekend, potentially costing the president millions of dollars in donations and raising alarms about whether the initiative will face roadblocks in the run-up to the election.
Trump’s campaign used the weekend to test-drive its text messaging program, a cornerstone of its small-donor outreach and its voter turnout plan. But after sending out over 1 million patriotic-themed messages, the enterprise was taken offline by anti-spam monitors employed by mobile phone giants. and... [...]Donald Trump Jr. has alleged that Gmail is sending reelection campaign emails to spam folders. Yeah no shit. Must be a libtard conspiracy because there is no fucking way that people would be clicking the "Spam" button upon seeing that crap.
