Trump presidential bid poses dilemma for big business

[William769]

Three days after Election Night 2020, dozens of CEOs from the nation's largest companies logged into a Zoom call aiming to prevent the collapse of American democracy, according to several attendees who spoke to ABC News.

The night before, then-President Donald Trump had falsely declared victory in an address at the White House, pointing to a count of what he called "legal votes."

"The CEOs were horrified," Yale University Professor of Management Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, who convened the meeting, told ABC News. Hastily assembled, some of the chief executives showed up to the early-morning call in pajamas and most expressed grave concerns, he added.

Sonnenfeld and other meeting attendees declined to identify the CEOs who participated in the call, since they did so on condition of anonymity.

3. "The CEOs were horrified" and called a meeting "aiming to prevent the collapse of American democracy

They "expressed grave concerns", then they went back to business as usual.

Where is the "dilemma"?

They're still supporting many of the wingnuts, including Congressmen who voted not to ratify the election and the RW Hate Talkers who stir shit 24/7.

When it comes to a choice between "American democracy" and tax cuts/deregulation, I don't believe they see much of a dilemma.

If they were so gravely concerned, we would have seen major effects of it. Not a leaked story where they anonymously express concerns.

6. They weren't concerned with American Democracy

They were just trying to figure out what to do when the Nazis they created came for them.

They couldn't give one shit about democracy, but their wallets? That's something they care about.

Fuck 'em! They created this fucking fascist monster that is the current Retrumplican party.

It's way in a fight between Disney and DeSANTOS, I don't care who wins, I just root for injuries.

4. People often forget the role these CEO's play

With the exception of tech bros like Musk and Theil, most CEO’s don’t want to see the US descend into fascism, they’d prefer to maintain the illusion of neoliberal free market capitalism running smoothly.

5. If Trump were *still* in the WH January 21,

those CEO's expected the mother of all shakedowns where TFG would demand their "lunch money."
