$500 million is your "worst case scenario"?? This board needs to learn how fund raising actually works.

I don't know anything about the "Deep State" or post in the Unraveling Everything thread... but I know this. America elected Trump as a sign they were tired of politics as usual.
If this is how $5 billion has to be raised, then so be it.

If you scroll down the list there are a lot of “Chuck Schumer” donations.

Those folks are going to have a lot of fun with that money.

which is unfortunate because those donations will never go through. People's reading comprehension is atrocious:

DO NOT MAKE DONATIONS IN CELEB/POLITICIAN NAMES - They will be refunded according to GFM
I also believe this thing is oddly... not a scam, doesn't mean it won't end up being a scam, but if it really is the guy on the link doing this fund, then he truly believes it's going to happen.
*that being said, I don't think they make it to 1b*

Yea, we know. Democrats gave all their money to rich Hillary Clinton, McCabe defense, & liar Blasey-Ford.

to be completely fair, if Republicans (and politicians in general) in office aren't taking notice of this, they're part of the problem. People are speaking with their wallets whether I agree with them or not.
BINGO!

That's not the Voice of the People....it doesn't even register as a percentage of voters.
It's not a political movement. It's barely enough people to classify as a cult.

And that's the point of this thread. We don't know where this campaign is going to end up.

A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!”
The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved.

The GoFundMe "We The People Will Fund The Wall"
In a long list of stupid ideas, this is one of the worst.

Would you rather people who want a wall force everyone, including those who dont want one, to pay for it?
Seems to me this is how it should be. People want the wall can pay for it. It doesn't hurt anyone. Forcing people you disagree with to do what you want is what causes the divide in this country.
We should promote these movements on both sides to eliminate the need for government funding to begin with.

The Mexicans love GoFundMe. I’m glad we finally found a platform where their country would eagerly pay for our wall.
Posted on 12/20/18 at 1:23 pm to Cali 4 LSU
thats a lot of mexicans donating to build the wall.

Every time somebody comes on here and says something like this, it makes me want to go and donate more. Are you scared that there might be enough people who could actually fund this? Why would you be against people self funding the wall? Saves the people money who don't want one right? Maybe my $20 is worth it. This might be the only way.

I'd like to think that it's the actual movement/sentiment. Pretty sure that guy will be under fire if he takes the money and runs. Trump strikes me as one that would see to that.
