15. Not sure what is in this for large corporations to allow MAGAs to destroy democracy.

The mega corps make tons of money under Dems or Repugs, but they need stability. If MAGAs succeed then its a matter of time before the majority revolt. Its one thing for them to lie about an election being stolen from them, but quite another for lets say 83 million who vote Dem in 2024 to literally have their votes stolen.

At some point the majority that legitimately had their votes stolen will revolt. Mass strikes, protests shutting down colleges, the entire country destabilized. In that situation, mega corps no longer can make money, the kids and grand kids of the executives no longer can attend their Ivy League schools and then get amazing jobs from their connections.

Seems to me the mega corps who run the world would much rather steer the Repugs back to just being tax pricks like the old days. This idea that the MAGAs can steal an election and the country just goes on is ridiculous.

I truly do not get why these mega corps are not pulling the funding. They make plenty under Dems but will make nothing in a destroyed America.
