they’re called bribes. why do people think there’s a difference between giving someone money personally and giving someone money through a “campaign fundraiser” designed to help them, personally?!

The US has advanced from regulatory capture to state capture. France escaped it via political violence in the French Revolution. If US government officials fail to respond to protests and civil disobedience to shut down oligarchy, then I don’t really see any way to effect change except through political violence as the French had to resort to.
Oh honey! That was just the money on the table, we’re not sure if the money under the table is “real” or wadding.
Stopped dead, even. Idiomatically, of course.
Americans will murder anyone but their elected officials. Weird.
