Now for Rent: Email Addresses and Phone Numbers for Millions of Trump Supporters
MSN News ^ | October 13, 2018 | Kenneth P. Vogel and Maggie Haberman, The New York Times

Early in his presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump dismissed political data as an “overrated” tool. But after he won the Republican nomination, his team began building a database that offers a pipeline into the heart of the party’s base, a comprehensive list including the email addresses and cellphone numbers of as many as 20 million supporters.

Now, consultants close to the Trump campaign are ramping up efforts to put that database — by far the most sought-after in Republican politics — to use, offering it for rent to candidates, conservative groups and even businesses.

It is an arrangement that has the potential to help the Republican Party in key midterm races, while providing a source of revenue for President Trump’s campaign and the consultants involved....

Of course this is nothing new, at all. I'm sure Lincoln kept lists of supporters and would rent them out. I didn't have the money to rent lists so I'd go through Who's Who in America, find the Republicans in my area and call them on the phone asking for donations for the party. It was an idea that just came to me one day as I volunteered in the office.

Great. This is what could spark civil war II at the local level across the nation. When Soros and his crew get a hold of this, and you can bet they will, antifa violence will become highly localized. There will be a lot of blood running in the street when this gets out.

Nothing unusual about this. Political campaigns do this all the time. If you have up your info to them, expect them to use it.

Do you not own a weapon? Do you know who Antifa is? I’m an amputee with an amputee spouse and I have no fear of Antifa, so why do you?

Data mining is exactly what put Google on top. Now it’s a monster proving once again; all things in moderation. Too much is very bad.

Get yourself an AR or two or and AK or two with plenty of ammo with lots of magazines filled and ready to put down any masked asshat who attempts to harm you or yours. When their body count hits one or two they will run like little girls on the playground. Don’t shoot them when they are running away as tempting as it may be. Only when they are coming your way with something like a bomb, guns, knives, tools, or molatov cocktails. Better yet; have motion sensing camera pointed at different directions so you can use them in a court of law later if needed. Their value when attacking you is zero. Your value is infinity. The second they breach your property line, whether you rent or own, they are fair game.

Of course if you live in a non-free anti-gun state; you’re on your own. If you live someplace like Portland you’re just plain screwed.

A) Are you sure they’re actually from Trump and if so (B) call his campaign on Monday and get them turned off.

The blood will be theirs, for the most part. Most all my friends, all Trump supporters , carry all the time. Plus many have a shotgun or ar mere steps away, on top of their carry piece.

Problem is the left has millions of dependents that are “disposable” in their view.

We, however, have property, jobs, etc. at stake.

They’ve been nickel-and-dime-ing us for decades. Now the loose change has turned into a multi-trillion dollar business.

Money we don’t have. What do you think they’re next move will be?

They’ve learned not to do a mass uprising (although they’ve demonstrated their muscle at local street levels). But they could squeeze us through court proceedings, hidden taxes, etc. so that we wouldn’t even know it.

Antics,the fascist ‘anti-fascists’. And the enemedia promote the lie as their massage command.

The fourth estate has become the enemy to the Republic, truly.
