I live in the PNW. Every election cycle I get massive amounts of Arizona conservative text spam. How do I make it stop? (lemmy.world)

It all comes from Arizona. Ive never been to Arizona. My phone number isnt anywhere near Arizona. One year, I replied STOP to every text. Nothing stopped. Now I just cuss them out and block them, but it still persists. I wrote an email to the Arizona Republican's main office and demanded my number be removed from thier canvassing. Crickets. More spam. 3 today alone. I am so tired of this shit. It doesnt help that I think conservatives are pieces of shit and I am a member of a marginalized community that they are targeting with hate and discriminative laws.

I am getting the same crap from the Republicans. Don't get me wrong, I could care less regardless of party, but it's ridiculous.

In my case, since I moved to a VOIP service for voice and text, I just keep adding these to the blacklist, and don't hear from any of them again, but they do keep coming from other numbers.
