FDR's New Deal was widely celebrated. There was almost a corporate coup against him (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot). Teddy's trust busting was also very celebrated. We used to have stronger unions that checked corporate power. OSHA is a hard check on corporate power.
There is a strong legacy of checking corporate power.
Unfortunately now that almost all media is oligarch owned it's hard to understand corporate abuses of power because both politicians and "journalists" are on the oligarch's payroll, quite literally.
