There are churches that are now surviving only because of multi-million-dollar gifts from wealthy members years ago. Methodist churches are becoming unaffiliated at a rapid rate but still have a congregation of dozens occupying pews intended to seat hundreds. One of them is the church I grew up in. The church still does good work but remains afloat only because of the generosity of maybe ten members now deceased and less than ten still active.
The funny thing is the fringe left HATES Democrats, and often skip voting altogether rather than vote for one.
