Originally posted by Jim B. View PostThen why do they spend so much money lobbying for repeal of regulations? The big auto makers fought against seat belts, then they fought against airbags, emission standards, etc. Big tobacco fought against warning labels on tobacco products. What you're saying may be selectively true in isolated cases to suppress competition, but the evidence points against it being true across the board.

Originally posted by demi-conservative View PostBig Banks against Trump, Big Social Media, Big Mainstream Media... so many woke corporations hate guts of Trump.
Besides, that wasn't the point, the point was that the quote from FDR was directed at Corporations and Big Banks, Trumps remarks of defiance would be directed at immigrant and people of color. So, Trump might sound like FDR, but their targets are far different.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostBut you guys believe anything left of Reagan to be socialism. So why should anyone take it seriously when US Conservatives cry wolf that this or that leftist person is socialist?
Democrats move left.JPG
It's from this article. Obviously they paint it as a good thing but I'm just pointing out that the Democrats have moved a lot too the left in recent years.
