Last night I was watching a livestream of the Indigo Girls with my wife. It was a free performance they were doing for charity. By the end of just a few hours they had raised $42K for medical supplies in the Dominican Republic. In the back of my mind, I was wondering about Trump's gofundme page set up by a Trump worshipper to counter legal outcomes of above $350 million. So, while this is an apples to oranges comparison due to amount of time and the reach of audiences, I had to check the page to see how much they raised so far. It was in the vicinity of $900K.
At the moment, the fund is up to $931,671 and so it is obvious to crack $1 million soon. And this thing just started up 6 days ago. Prior to that and maybe even in parallel, because these things are hard to track, there was also the Patriot Legal Defense Fund. It seems like that one was running the second half of last year.
Even though there are a few very elite oligarchs throwing a cool million into the PLDF and many mid-level rich people (anonymous people on gofundme) throwing $5K and $10K donations around, there are also a lot of people donating $50 here and there or less. These people, the working poor, who are being duped could be spending their extra funds on something more worthwhile, whether it's for the Dominican Republic or some other charity or even for their own immediate needs. Likewise, the time spent going down the QAnon rabbit hole conspiracies could be way more productive doing something completely different.
How is it possible to break their minds free from all the brainwashing?
