Should former President Donald Trump win the 2024 presidential election, liberal activists fear difficulty raising funds to support their operations, according to a report by Politico.
Trump is the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, having won the first two primary contests of Iowa and New Hampshire, and is currently ahead of President Joe Biden, the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination, in polls of battleground states. Should Trump become the 47th president of the United States in 2025, activists express the fear that they will lose donations amid dissatisfaction with politics from their supporters, Politico’s Michael Schaffer reported.
“I think what’s missing right now is, what is Plan B if [P]lan A doesn’t work — Plan A being, obviously Biden wins the election,” said Micah Sifry, a writer and political organizer, to Politico. Sifry is among many activists who indicate that their fundraising and operations will be adversely affected by a Trump presidency.
Activists do not appear to have considered a strategy for Trump’s electoral victory. While donations and interest in these organizations increased shortly after Trump took office in 2017, the activists warn that the relative ineffectiveness of efforts to oppose Trump’s policies means that donors are unlikely to give them again.
“There was this kind of collective moment, three, four or five years ago, where the climate funders started to say, you know, we’re not really making progress…[e]nvironmental funding has basically been level or flat or in slow decline,” said Dave Gallagher, a fundraising consultant who has worked with activist organizations to Politico, apparently in reference to the effect of the Trump administration on fundraising.
“[It would be] very difficult to keep some of these large progressive organizations funded robustly — people will look back on that and think it didn’t work,” said David Brock, an activist who works on anti-Trump initiatives, to Politico. “Nobody is talking about [a Trump victory]. People don’t want to go there right now.”
However, some activists disagree, suggesting that rank-and-file activist opposition to Trump will resurge as it did during his presidency, which contributed to his electoral loss in 2020.
“[I]t’s hard for me to imagine that those same people, those same individuals, those same communities, those same organizations won’t respond similarly,” said Maurice Mitchell, the national director of the Working Families Party, to Politico.
“We’ve got fatigue to deal with, we’ve got burnout, but we also have a majority of Americans who are interested in maintaining a democracy,” said Lauren Duncan, a psychologist at Smith College. “I don’t think people are going to roll over and give up.”

This will be the first and only time I vote for the same President in three election cycles.
I don’t get it. They don’t have write in votes for POTUS on your ballots?
Next time, write in – Crusty Carbuncle, every time, every election cycle.
Vote Crusty Carbuncle 2024. Plus, send me boat loads of money.
I will vote yet again for DJT for the simple reason that the people I despise the most
hate him. It doesn’t matter at all to me about anything else. His election or not won’t change anything . A deadly horrible storm is coming here no matter what, so my vote for DJT is a massive last “FUCK YOU!” to the people I will be shooting at soon enough. Revolutionary War II is inevitable. It’s a constitutional republic or socialism. It won’t be voted on, because the left will no longer accept the outcome of voting if it goes against them. We have seen that these last few years.
Ammo up.
It was very brave of you to admit to that degree of impotence.
I didn’t vote in 2016 as I saw no good candidate. I voted for Jo Jorgensen in 2020. But this time will vote Republican as the Democrats must be stopped.
Liberals fear him, goyims! That must mean he is a good guy, right?
Well, kinda of. Do you consider Satan to be a good guy? Then yes, he’s a good guy.
Just think what a calamity it would be if Trump won again: People would be having heterosexual sex; possibly even committing birth. We’ll still be able to (shudder) use gas lawnmowers and we might not have enough wars. Eating bugs will still only be optional.
People would be having heterosexual sex
But what about Trump’s Log Cabin Republicans? lol
Trump, Biden, who cares? Doesn’t matter anyway. Regardless of the current puppet the same agenda will play out
Libtards have nothing to fear from Trump. He’ll pretend to get in their faces again while powdering their asses and giving them whatever they want, just like last time.
That’s the spirit. Never give up your delusions.
El Trumpo may even give Dylan Mulvaney the green light it can use any restroom it pleases at Mar-a-Lago.
They can now massively cheat and get away with it, so what are they worried about?
You can only cheat so much and get away with it, to much and cheating exposes itself. That is their major worry.
They cheated that much in 2020 (and again in 2022) and got away with it. It was as clear as day for everyone to see, yet they were successful in using their media to gaslight the public and cover it up, and no one did anything about it who was in a position to do something about it. They were either supportive of the result, compromised, scared, or all of the above.
What makes you think the same thing won’t happen this coming November?
Liberal Activists Reveal Their Biggest Fear About a Trump 2024 Victory, a tiny bit of freedom and liberty for the average citizen!
If so many, myself included, believe that biden was chosen and not elected, then why do so many believe/hope Trump has any chance to be elected this time?
IMO, elections aren’t left up to chance. Trump is being groomed as the GOP’s candidate for whatever reason. Anyway, he’s no opposition figure as we’ve already seen. What’s the big difference between a prez who is demented and can be manipulated into anything, and a prez who is a totally self absorbed child and can be swung on his own emotions as if they were a rope around his neck?
