Earlier I noticed that the Trump cult’s email spam resembled the incessant calls from a moody menopausal ex-wife. Do you still love me? Why haven’t you responded? I would never expect this from YOU!
Kirn has noticed the same thing, describing it from a different angle:
A lot of the political $$$ solicitations I’m getting right now have a stalking, menacing feel. A “we know where you live” & “you’re letting us down” vibe. I don’t like it at all. I imagine certain voters feel plain intimidated & may even wonder if their votes are confidential.
One of the commenters echoes my impression exactly:
The Trump ones seem to alternate between calling me a traitor and telling me he loves me. I hate to say it, but it kind of sounds like I just got out of an abusive relationship.
Kirn’s judgment of the motive is probably right. Makes more sense than menopause.
