"SNIP......

Pew Research: “Republicans are critical of how several major institutions, from large corporations and technology companies to universities and K-12 public schools, are affecting the United States. And in many cases, Republicans’ assessments have taken a sharp negative turn in the past few years.”

“Democrats, by contrast, are more positive than Republicans about the impact of a number of institutions and industries.”

1. How about the American Legeslative Exchange Council or the Federalist

Society? They seem to dislike those they cannot bully.

2. cult members tend to be suspicious of anyone or anything outside the cult

3. They are not souring on big institutions

Their intent is to destroy existing institutions and set up their own for not only the grift, but also counter-hegemony.

Wake up folks!

6. Yep, they worked so hard to gerrymander and suppress votes...

Now they find out privately owned corporations can fire people for racism and not getting vaccinated. They can move jobs out of radical right locales. Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms can just drop them, even their cult leader. Bar associations can disbar them. Other boards can kick them out.

What's the use rigging and subverting democracy when freedom, private property, free speech, and free enterprise can so easily thwart the Trumpies?
