Republican donors – including those who had said they’d never support Trump again after Jan. 6 — believe the current regulatory climate for businesses is also an existential danger. Kathy Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City — a nonprofit organization representing the city’s top business leaders — said Republicans have conveyed to her that they consider that “the threat to capitalism from the Democrats is more concerning than the threat to democracy from Trump.”
That’s somewhat shortsighted, as the money is heavily predicated on a functioning economy and the power is heavily predicated on a functioning industry. Countries without democracy have historically lagged in both categories, with the client states of large industrial democratic states being the primary exception.
Never underestimate hubris.
That’s too broad sighted. They don’t care about the country. They’d be plutocrats of a well with a Korean curse on it if meant they had more water than the poors.
