Better example? Good.
Please feel free to add examples below. There are plenty.
That being said you aren't comparing apples to apples in this meme.

But if you mean comparing $$$ from lobbyist groups to individual donations then I get what you're saying.
I'll delete the other post. Thanks.

A meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture".[2] An Internet meme may take the form of an image, hyperlink, video, website, or hashtag. It may be just a word or phrase, including an intentional misspelling. These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources. They may relate to various existing Internet cultures or subcultures, often created or spread on various websites, or by Usenet boards and other such early-internet communications facilities. Fads and sensations tend to grow rapidly on the Internet, because the instant communication facilitates word-of-mouth transmission.
So yah that's a meme... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme
