Just got a call from the NRCC on my landline

I’ve seen this number before and ignored but decided to answer . A lady with a southern voice said she was from the Republican Party and is calling on behalf of Speaker Johnson. I said immediately, “ Sorry I don’t vote for the Nazi party “ I hung up and it felt so good!

age, neighborhood, well that is all I can think of.
We used to live in a small farm community that at one time was almost solidly Republican. Boy, would they ever get a surprise with me.

One woman from Louisiana ended the call saying to me "Boy wait until my husband gets home. He's been lying to me for a long time."

I got a telephone call. The female caller said she was from the republican party, and they were offering me a ride to my polling place. So I asked her "did you say you were a republican?" She replied "yes". So then I said "Good for you. Admitting your problem is the first step on the road to recovery."

and because they were using different numbers on the same exchange, I finally used my call blocker to completely block the entire exchange instead of the different numbers. And that included blocking the ones from Stefanik back then too (that had her name in the Caller ID).
