I don’t like to cite a problematical reality, but it is a reality that the Nazis and Klan will be defeated in part because billionaires and corporate America have joined the fight against them. HR departments from coast to coast are on a search and destroy mission against outed Nazis and many people are finding out the hard way that you can, in fact, be fired for your “political beliefs.” Businesses from the Detroit Red Wings and the Tiki Torch Company to Amazon have denounced the nazi scum far more harshly than our cowardly media and politicians have dared to do.

It affects the rest of the bat guano right too. In Texas, open opposition from business was what saved us from the fascist administration’s abominable “bathroom bill.”

Of course, there is division over this in the business community. Many entrepreneurs want tax cuts and libertarian de-regulation at any cost. This is especially true of narrow track firms with a single, large revenue source, that depends on lax regulation ie fast food or multi-level marketing. Otoh, the largest and most sophisticated operators, and the ones with the most diverse interests, are beginning to see the GOP and the right as a bad investment.
