Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

I maintain every Republican Call to Action sounds like a bully asking for your lunch money and every Democratic Call to Action sounds like they need to be talked off a ledge, which says something about what gets a response from their supporters.

I think the trump tactics wouldn't work on the average democrat. The reason we have clearly seen through his bs is we haven't tossed our critical thinking in the bin. We saw this con man ages before he ran for president. I guess that is part of being woke...

Not sure if you get any Democratic fundraising e-mails, but in place of "Trump reviewed his list of True Patriots and saw your name was not listed: are you not a True Patriot?" they instead say "we aren't going to make it; without your $5 we anticipate losing BIG in 2026."

Mine (before I unsubscribed) usually said something along the line of: "While you do all the heavy lifting, we're going to sit back and count your donations, but, come November, we promise, promise, promise, promise, PROMISE, to make "all better" when we're back in charge." Or how I read them...

This whole thread is incredibly bizarre to me. I have lived and voted in three different European countries and I have never got a fundraising email (or any kind of appeal for money) from a candidate for any election. They ask for our votes, not our money.
