    in the 2024 election the RNC raised 390 million, dems raised 548 million. Dems still lost. The old consultant wisdom that whoever raises the most money wins no matter what didnt work.

      That’s crazy I didn’t know that. But I think of funding. I think of funding grifters like heritage foundation, TPUSA, people’s careers like Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool whoever amplifies.

      There’s not much on the left. Unless it’s a former Republican who is now anti Trump.
