If you were to actually take this at face value and believe it (imagine!) wouldn’t it be better to not be signed up for these kinds of mailing lists? I don’t understand how the premise here would be convincing to someone.

    I think you might be underestimating just how dumb the MAGA base really is. As a group they are more likely to have never gone to college, dropped out of high school, and have a below average IQ. Normal critical thinking skills and common sense is asking too much, these people have a permanent case of poo brain.

    It's convincing to the creator. Any recipient that finds it convincing would be like, "What?! But I'm already voting for him."

    And that's where absolute dumbfuckery comes in.

    They would say that exact sentence. But here's the kicker. HE ISNT RUNNING. They don't know that, he doesn't know that, and they're going to be confused as shit when they can't find him on the ballot.

    That said, shit like this works because these people are gullible turds. The dude has more publicly documented lies than days he has been on the earth.

    They're running a con job. If you're stupid enough to vote for that guy, you're stupid enough to get your money stolen. It's that simple.

    I wouldn't be so sure, I can totally see trump pressuring officials into putting him on the ballot and just proceeding as if it were normal while the democrats shout its illegal and don't so anything about it. turns out it doesn't matter if it's illegal of everyone in charge just goes along with it anyway

    It sounds like OP didn't willingly sign up, they probably harvested those emails from wherever they could and for those they thought they could easily influence.
