> Gelinas raised thousands of dollars on Patreon each month, posting updates using his pseudonym, QAppAnon. > A few months into the Trump administration, Gelinas changed his party affiliation to Republican, and this spring he contributed $200 to Trump’s reelection efforts—his first-ever political contribution, according to federal disclosures. Why am I not surprised at all, raking in thousands of dollars all in self-service and then gives a tiny amount to the candidate he claims to adore... On a separate note I had no idea that this FEC website [0] existed or that this info was so easily accessible. Like it doesn't completely shock me, I figured you could find out who I've donated to if you wanted to look but I never thought it would be this easy and they also have datasets you can download... If I didn't already have too many side-projects that I'm working on then I'd love to heatmap out this data by zip code for donations to party/candidate or play with the data in some other way. It's quite fun to throw in your company name and see who gave how much and to where.
