C&C Multipliers remind me of a proposal some years ago: the gist was that whenever the government tries to pick on the little guy, rich conservatives should swoop in and fund his legal challenge or defense. The person who came up with this called it the "Madison Fund" (as in James Madison), although it turns out that name's already taken by an investment firm). The C&C Multipliers basically do the same thing, but with lots of small donations instead of a few rich people.

Not that a few rich people swooping in wouldn't be helpful too...

I suppose 'rich' is a relative term. but if you click on 'top donations', Dan Bongino threw in $5K. Good to see him standing up.

Kid Rock dropped $5K in the plate for the subway good citizen's defense.

BTW, that's how Donald Trump funded his 2020 campaign, with many many small donations and, other than injecting some of his own wealth, few large ones. That pesky populist Trump!

True, but also remember James O'Keefe's expose on the supposed small donors game the D's are playing on the Act Blue app. Not saying Trump did this, but I guess I question everything these days.

Nobody would have done this on behalf of Trump.
