By the way, on any level, this is what you have to prepare for *any* time you are attempting to build community, political or otherwise.
Trump is a special adept at this, but any successful project inevitably attracts attention/money grifters and you need to protect what you've built.

Bernie is a good example of someone who entirely fucked this up, squandering a huge amount of momentum by allowing a hoard of grifters to descend on the movement and harvest money and fame by creating a grievance culture against women and Black folks (and, increasingly and ironically, Jews).
