    I have no idea why companies go full republocan when the economy sores under Dem. Probably to cause a crash and consolodate wealth and start the cycle over. Pretty sure they flew too close to the sun this time. My wife and I have completely boycott several companies that we have spent thousands of dollars at yearly before.

      Because they want no regulation and all the money. Democrats sure as fuck aren’t perfect, but a lot of them want a more equitable division of money and want to tax those who make a bunch. Corps can’t have that.

      As the other replies said, tax breaks and cuts to regulation. But it’s also that they know there’s cycles in politics, so they get what changes they want from the right, and then count on the left to fix the economy the next time around. Much like riding the market. The danger is when things go too far and the system breaks. The dwarves corporations delved too greedily and too deep. Now they have a balrog to contend with.

      Fascism is built on corporatism. Every profit driven organisation must want it. It’s how they’re designed to operate.

      Most Republicans just give tax breaks and less regulation. Donny is unique in fucking up the economy. “But he didn’t do it last time something something.”
