Another round of threatening political messages targeting special interest groups have surfaced after the successful election of President Donald J. Trump. The first batch were reportedly sent to black Americans, many of whom in Atlanta. The new batch of texts targets Hispanic and LGBT Americans. The messages are similar in format to the ones sent to black Americans. However, a key difference is that Hispanics were threatened with deportation while LGBT people were threatened with a forced reeducation camp. Trump’s name was mentioned in both texts, signaling that this could be a fear campaign done by leftists who wish to scare people into voting more than they do.
The original texts that garnered much media attention threatened black people with enslavement, ordering them to the nearest cotton plantation by way of a brown and/or “executive slave” van. The messages were obviously not sent out by the Government. Team Trump says they have nothing to do with the text messages.
