"Being called a liberal was so bad for one’s reputation..."
Exactly! That's why I'm always annoyed when people (such as yourself, Mr. Stoehr) say that these fascist traitors aren't "real conservatives" and are betraying "actual conservativism" in a bizarre, desperate attempt to salvage the term
"conservative" for some reason. Meanwhile all these fascist GOPers boast about how conservative they are. But they can only do that as long as "conservative" is seen as a positive word and not used as a slur by a large portion of the populace, like the word "liberal" is. There should be a massive campaign to turn the label "conservative" into a bad word. Make the Right ashamed of admitting that they are "conservatives". Make them feel how the Right make liberals feel after they demonized that word decades ago and still do today. Turning the word "liberal" into a slur is the utter foundation of conservative propaganda. Everything flows from that. Its decades past time to turn the tables on these cretins. Here,
I'll get it started: Conservatives hate America. Say it again and again. Every chance you get. Turn it into a hashtag. #ConservativesHateAmerica
Well, corporations are people too, sorta. That is, they have DNA, embodied in corporations law, that huge body of rules and regulations, federal and state and even local, that governs how for-profit corporations do business. All corporations share that DNA, and one of the first rules of corporate law is that corporations exist to maximize value for their shareholders. That may be a good or a bad thing, but it is a fact, and corporations have to abide by it. If we want corporations to act differently, we need to re-write their DNA and change the law.
There is no place in corporations law for morality and altruism, although some corporations will buy goodwill every now and then by doing good things - like Ford making respirators last year during the covid crisis. Right now, corporations are agitating against Republican tinkering with election laws because above all else corporations abhor instability and unpredictability, two of the likeliest outcomes of GOP electoral skullduggery. Basically, corporate America is shouting fairly loudly for Republicans to just stop rocking the boat.
I don’t the Republicans understand how global-minded younger Americans are. I grew up playing online video games with people from around the world—I have co-workers from Italy, Brazil, Malaysia, Russia, Spain, etc. Social media has broken down so many borders, too. My generation (younger millennials) has seen how different we’re not—and you can’t put that genie back in the bottle. Our similarities are too great to divide ourselves over identity, and corporations see and understand that.

Fort Sumpter was bombed in 1861, not 1961. Excellent point you are making here, otherwise.
