Protection racket, just a nice round number to show fealty.

There is no protection from fascism. It's bribery, and the dumbest part is MAGAzis will still throw them all under the bus depending which way the wind blows on any given day.

Yeah, it's "protection" like the mafia. "It'd be a real shame if something jammed up your company, we should all just cooperate. You can start with $1M big ones into the account. We'll be best friends."

if something jammed up your company

Notice how this only started being a possibility (woth everyone complying in advance) once they took over all 3 branches of power. Nobody was complying in advance^iirc during the 1st Trump presidency

Maybe they're colluding so that none of the donors pushes the donation amount higher.
