"When Citizens United was decided in 2010, #billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 #presidential #election $13 million in the 2004 cycle and $16 million in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 the total was $231 million, and the figure roughly doubled again in each of the next three election cycles — to $682 million in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024."
