Every single day since around the start of the year I get at least 1 text with the content of roughly: "FROM TRUMP: You could be the next winner of this PRIZE/MONEY!", "Click here to receive your $10,000 tariff refund!", "DEMOCRATS are trying to DESTROY EVERYTHING!". Plus I get almost daily calls that immediately hang up, and leave a 30 second voicemail with no audio.

I've always had some level of political spam, usually only close to voting months, but this year has been the worst for me.

The first two don't sound like political spam, just politically-themed regular scams.
