Big business is easily won over with tax cuts and cheap labor. I don't think there is any question that big business prefers the "lax" regulatory environment the GOP offers.
You hope the deep state and big business can limit Trump's power, but it doesn't take a lot of effort to find historic precedence that those are hopeful limits rather than practical ones, thinking otherwise is American exceptionalism.
- emmelaich 3y agoI appreciate your scepticism towards hope, however the USA is exceptional in the sense it has never had a dictator or monarch - at least since the War of Independence.
- hayst4ck 3y agoI think you should step back and appreciate the implications of the 22nd amendment, including when it was enacted and why. I am pretty confident that most of our founding fathers would disagree with your complacence.
- dragonwriter 3y agoThe time between when what became the USA had a monarch and now is shorter than the time between when Rome was a Kingdom and the end of the Republic. There is nothing all that exceptional about the fact that the US has gone a bit under 250 years without either a monarch or dictator.
