The Prime Directive for the Republican Party is Big Business. You don't screw with them. You give them what they want. Tax breaks, Right To Work Laws, free infrastructure and land, and then you await the contributions and pork to bring home to your state/city/district.. They make or break you as a politician. That's why you don't see a bunch of Republicans out there shooting up their beer cans because they don't want to upset Anheuser-Busch. It would send a signal to other Big Businesses that you might do the same thing with them. Bud has plants and distribution centers everywhere.
Ron DeSantis stepped on his Johnson bigly when he took on The Mouse. That would be ABC, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel and all of the rest of Disney, which will own DeSantis before this is all over. He threatened a Big Business with a prison next door and he's been messing with them ever since they read the tea leaves and decided to be LGBTQ friendly. Where are MTG and Matt Gaetz on this one?...Crickets. The target demographic thinks LGBTQ is fine and they care more about K-Pop and their phones than who is screwing who. Really. Oldies like us are largely irrelevant.
Remember a few years ago when Boeing was building a lawn dart called the 737 MAX? It took forever for politicians to do something about a really obvious problem. Boeing gives big to BOTH parties, just like most Big Business, so you might want to watch your mouth before you speak ill of them. It's baked into the GOP cake. "Free" unfettered capitalism. Dead airline passengers are fine and preferably from The Third World so the settlements won't be so big. Did you know that Boeing actually sells body bags to airlines? Yep. Because they know some of them will go down.
What's truly Orwellian is the Right Wing hissy fit over LGBTQ as you support the creation of the very totalitarian dystopia that Orwell foresaw.. Some of your biggest heroes are probably gay. Remember Dennis Hastert? Yeah, that guy. Da Vinci, Alan Turing, Shakespeare, Caesar, and countless others. Without Turing, this "conversation" would probably be by letter. Paul Allen. Yeah, gay. Really, who cares who you sleep with or love? Oh yeah, that Jesus guy you claim to care about so much. It really upset him. So upset that his Dad/Himself "created" the whole rainbow spectrum of gay. What would you do if you had a gay child? Cast them out? Perform an exorcism? Hate them forever? If one of my kids were gay I would ACCEPT it and love them unconditionally.
So, please. Have your leaders attack Big Business and see how that goes, OK? Continue to support the haters that would create the 4th Reich if they could get away with it. BTW, Biden's hands were tied in Afghanistan because the great "Deal Maker" did the Doha Agreement, under which the US had to withdraw all forces by May, 2021, which is what happened. Your hero cut a bad deal, and then the rest of you joined him in trying to toss Biden under the bus.
Keep it up, because torpedoes that circle back and destroy their target are the specialty of the Far Right.
