The Chamber embraces Biden. And Republicans are livid.

“Some people may have assumed that somehow the Chamber was an arm of a political party,” Bradley said in an interview. “They were wrong in that assumption.”

Republicans thought that their was some sort of loyalty oath?

The Chamber embraces Biden. And Republicans are livid.

The influential trade organization says it's taking the same approach to the new administration as it did with Trump.

Trumpist Republicans meet the limits of what private enterprise is interested in entertaining as they diverge ever more from popular opinion. This isn’t the NRA.

Modern GQP has a Louis XIV complex it seems—they think they are the state. Single party rule under a king of their choosing is what they aspire to.

the Republican base is now the rural and exburb working class, white voter. Their “economic anxieties” isn’t clamoring for more tax cuts for businesses and millionaires. They are Trump voters who are fine with tarriffs and nationalism as long as the “right” people are rewarded. The country club, Chamber of commerce types thought they were the Republican base but Trump proved the real base has no interest in that.

Business interests are realizing that - gasp - the neoliberal Democratic Party isn't really Communist/Socialist/Marxist. Foreign policy hawks are realizing that - gasp - the Democratic Party isn't really a weak on foreign policy preparing for their next worldwide apology-tour.

And they're realizing that letting the social conservative Death Cult run the party is bad for the things they actually give a fuck about.

Political re-alignments. Political re-alignments everywhere.

Time to cancel the Chamber for disloyalty to the God Emperor.

The truth is, while the Chamber has generally favored the GOP for supporting low corporate taxes and deregulation, they have become too radical of a party under Trump. Radicalism creates instability, and instability is bad for business. This is a consequence of their embrace of the whole Trump phenomena. It has nothing to do with disloyalty. Their loyalty is to their bottom line, period.

I don't think business interests were ever so simplistic. Nearly all business people I know are quite astute. I think what has happened is January 6th-and perhaps more important the GOP's subsequent non-reaction to it-has shown business their best interest does not lie with the burn-it-down folks who have taken over the GOP.

This is going to help dry up the GOP's funding which is going to have a probable huge effect on reforming the GOP or creating a viable new alternative.

Interesting what they support with the new admin, no wonder it made the snowflakes melt.

Had to chuckle. Kevin McCarthy says the Chamber of Commerce has sold out. Kevin Fucking McCarthy, the cheese mouthed sellout poster boy of the House! Talk about some deflection/projection strategy!

After the Chamber backed nearly two dozen freshman House Democrats for reelection last year, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox News he didn’t want the Chamber’s endorsement “because they have sold out.”

Calling the Chamber of Commerce sellouts is like calling Tom Brady a lazy fatso, Albert Einstein an idiot, FDR a loser. KM is a joke!

GOP is now party of workers and peasants, and resentful of the educated bourgeoise. They are going to be Bolshevik soon.

The Bolsheviks goal was overthrow of the existing capitalist system. That is not the goal of the Republican Party. They want to insure that those who benefit most from American capitalism continue to do so and more so as much as possible. Enrich the already rich would be their motto, were truth to be told unvarnished.

We shouldn't forget about an the faux-populism Trump was pushing before he went all in on the proud boy cop killer crowd.

Remember the nonsensical tariffs and trade policy?
Recall how much he floundered on China policy?
How much he screwed farmers and had to bail them out by taxing us consumers?

Let alone NK and foreign policy disasters...

All that sorta got pushed aside as he took the mantle of cheating his way into re-election via a culture and race war.

IDK how exactly to describe the trump gop policy.

It's far more socialist than the actual democrats in motive, but in practice it's a con run by ultra rich on the lower middle populist rubes via culture and race divisions.

An apartheid oligarchy coalition based on regionality and cultural signaling.
