        What do you mean, taking that this graph is showing data every to year it doubled gop percentage between elections and the 2022-2024 holds a hugely significant portion of that increase.

            The growth between 2008 and 2022 was the same as the growth between 2022 and 2024.

        I’m not sure it counts. Would that be a donation to a political party fund?
