alt Hacker Newsrelatedly, my wife received polititexts destined to her conservative father. The latest was actually genius IMO, in that it stated "Dear STEVEN, due to inactivity, your registration will be changed to DEMOCRAT in 20 minutes unless you navigate to this link." It, I assume, redirected to some support page to donate to the US conservative party or its affiliates. The social engineering is getting more effective

Inevitably some people are going to be away from their phones when they receive that, so I wonder what they think when they continue getting needy messages from Republicans after that!
I don't know if the fact that it fully slipped into the absurd or the fact that it probably still worked on people is sadder.
I do love the idea of voter registration oscillating back and fourth at 20 minutes intervals forever. Would make voting in the primaries way more exciting as the voter base kept flipping.
