Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians?

- You can already do this. There are tons of nonprofits that lobby the government for x, y, and z.
- But these non-profits don’t tend to engage in much explicit bribery, because the people working at these organizations and who donate to these organizations think outright bribery is wrong.
- Finally, if you started a gofundme to bribe a politician, they would 1,000,000% not take your money. When you bribe someone, discretion is part of the deal, and with a public gofundme, you’ve already broken that discretion.

Just market it to Trump supporters. Say your raising money for the wall. Use the first round to buy some land near the border. Next round use it for the construction of your new house and rug pull the website. The only thing more unethical is for that money to fund a MAGA true believer.
