You don't think that strongly correlates with maga tactics?
MAGA tactics at this point means trying to destroy the machinery of democracy and use explicit violence to threaten with death or imprisonment judges, election workers, congresspeople, and anyone else who stands in their way of seizing power. Then, if they are able to regain power, going after any minority or vulnerable person at home or abroad that they can find, simply for the fun and pleasure of exercising cruelty.
The Republicans do send weird fundraising texts sometimes. But, that's not a new thing in American politics or what I would consider anywhere even in the neighborhood of a defining characteristics of MAGA. I think actually turning away from this kind of dogshit DC-consultancy politicking and fundraising and towards more effective and insidious news-media and social-media secret influence campaigns, and simple transfusions of vast infusions of dirty money from billionaires and foreign oligarchs, is more MAGA's style than this type of text message. Although, again, they do still send text messages, I'm sure.
I would define assigning insulting nicknames to your opponents, and repeating them even though they don't really correspond to reality even a little bit, to try this sort of middle-school level of influence to turn people away from your opponents (and apply a tag of "the enemy" in the eyes of your groupthinking followers) to be MAGA tactics, though.
