Ever since I made donation directly to President Trump's website, my email has been bombarded daily with spammers pretending to be affiliated with the President asking for donations. Looking at their actual emails, you know they're garbage. They all went to trash.

Put as little information as is allowed on your voter registration. When we had a landline, we were call-spammed all the time. I changed my voter registration to remove the phone number, and voila. I don't know if you can remove your email address, probably varies by state. That is where most of the spammers get their information about you.
When in doubt, mumble

These days, it’s all about if you sent in a campaign contribution. That’s where they are attacking the OP< and I as well. They send me texts all the time, I just fucking block the number. I was replying to the ass holes “If you people don’t stop texting me I’m going to vote for the other side!” But that did no good and they kept coming.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

For text message spam I reply "Bugger off. I don't pay a phone bill to provide you or anybody else an advertising medium. Blocked." and block the number. Probably doesn't do any good, but it makes me happy
Email spam gets binned, unread. Calls from unknown numbers go unanswered and the number gets blocked.
