Corporations definitely have a role to play in preserving democracy. Some short-sighted CEOs will hop aboard the GQP autocracy train. Yet I believe that many will see, or can be made to see, that only a free society can be a consumer society where businesses have enough customers. But they have to be constantly pressured. Remember after Jan 6 when many corps backed off from funding GQP candidates? (More $$$ goes to PACs anyway.) Well, anyone know right now if they've stood strong since then?
These are dangerous days. Still, an aroused populace, a Democratic majority and a critical mass of corporate clout looks pretty potent as a bulwark of democracy. We shall see.
As a 40 year former Republican I say good riddance, they have become worse than useless. I watched our president’s press conference yesterday and I’m convinced that he’s a good one!
The comparison speeches of Biden and T***P on Brian Williams looked more like a SNL skit. What a mockery the reps have tried to make of our democracy and the country. What the hell is driving them to be such blatant anti-American fools? Tar pits, I say.

No assumptions. Be a VOICE be a PEST and rally your friends to FOR THE PEOPLE ACT..
Judd Legum has good threads on corporate backers of these voter suppression bills by supporting the sponsors:

Stopping donations to republicans after the Jan 6 insurrection was a temporary thing. Most of them are back.
Corporate donors to sponsors of voting restrictions:

Morning, Ellie!! Scrolling down to your other post, I see how to find where companies are donating. Thanks!
The Lincoln Project is shining light on this as well.
Predictable but sad
They wouldn’t be doing all of this if they weren’t panicked about their own demise as a party.

Desperation
No tar pits. RIP Sabre tooth tigers and woolly mammoths!
The GQP majority are giant sloths, which also met a sticky end.
I have a feeling the Republican party is in early stages of its death throes. Probably going to be quite a ride.
I can envision a rally where the former guy screams Only I Can Vote! And Giv Kemp applauds
If so, they're hoping it's a murder/suicide.
No, it was short lived.
