I always figured you can grift more when actually in power compared to fundraising like chumps in the offseason.
The amount that industry lobbyists will pay to get a government contract or whatever makes donations look petty.
But I have no sense of the actual numbers for any of this
The difference is, the lobbyists expect returns on their money. People getting emails about STOPPING TYRANNY are donating on a 100% vibes basis and will accept "shucks orange man stopped us" instead of concrete actions
