It wasn’t that long ago that Big Business was a part of the Republican Big Tent. They were rewarded with tax legislation and a favorable corporate tax rate. Then they went Woke and all that work went down the drain. Maybe the RNC should have concentrated on workers rather than corporate masters?
Here is what happened:
The Occupy Wall Street movement scared the crap out of the corporate ruling class. There was a real threat to their ever increasing push for globalization and increasing percentage of wealth.
The solution was to buy favor and move to the left on social issues, in exchange for no longer having the Democrats talk about economic issues.
That is why everything became Woke virtue signaling and Climate Change marketing.
