With the onset of President Trump's administration, blue America is experiencing significant fear and demoralization, leading to a steep decline in financial support for liberal groups. Donations from small-dollar donors have dwindled as anxious voters hesitate to contribute. Charitable foundations traditionally backing causes like voting rights and L.G.B.T.Q. equality are now redirecting efforts to brace for anticipated investigations from the Republican-led Congress. Many major liberal donors have also paused their contributions due to frustration with the Democratic Party's direction and potential repercussions from Trump, signaling a profound shift in the political funding landscape.
The small-dollar online spigot that powered opposition to the first Trump administration has slowed to a trickle as shaken liberal voters withhold their donations.
Democrats worry Trump's frequent threats of retribution have led to a chilling effect on the charitable foundations and nonprofit advocacy groups that have long been pillars of civil society.
