Comment on Can one of the math addicts of lemmy.world calculate how much it would cost to give every adult in the US 5k for voting Republican? Also who is going to pay for it? My guess taxpayers.

If only ⅓ actually vote, that’s around 110m people (assuming all are adults of legal voting age). If about ⅓ actually identify as a Republican, that’s about 35k people. 35,000 x $5,000 = $175m.

Considering Trump’s doubled his worth to over $11b (illegally) he could theoretically pay for it. Not that he will lol. But he made more than that on his crypto rug pull scheme, so… There’s that.
