But you are, you're defending the line "Republicans are for the working class and Democrats are for Big corporations." That's your stance. I'm saying Trump got put in office by not one billionaire but by dozens. He was funded by big corporations and his actions show him supporting them. In his first term he gave a massive tax cut to corporations and the rich and he raised taxes on the working class (disguised as a temporary decrease in taxes while he was in office). You're literally saying wall street was okay with RvW being repealed, an anti-humanist action done by Republicans, as long as they got tax cuts, an anti-worker action done by Republicans. Republicans did two bad things you can recognize that go against your central argument you're defending "Republicans are for the working class and Democrats are for Big corporations."
When the trump administration successfully does something Anti-Trust related and the American people benefit THEN I will say "wow look at that, one good thing they did." Until then I'm gonna focus on the fact that they're generally and overwhelmingly NOT doing good things. Including but not limited to pro-corporation anti-humanist anti-worker actions like deregulation, disrupting oversight, allowing massive monopolistic mergers, going against unions (except for police unions it seems) and taxing the working class more while giving slush fund money to their corporate donors. All the while they're locking up judges and US citizens and immigrants without due process.
I'm not saying you're a bad person or a bad progressive and I'll happily join hands with you in making good policy changes but I will call out what I think to be bullshit that hurts the cause because we need to have a united front against the billionaire class and they win by creating wedges and one liners that are plausible and divisive. Like "Republicans are pro-worker and Democrats are for Big business" which is at best reductive and misleading and at worst fucking obviously stupid, wrong, and dangerous.
Just one of the sources detailing some of the billionaires that funded his return: https://www.forbes.com/sites/leokamin/2024/08/14/here-are-trumps-top-billionaire-donors/
