Remember when a huge portion of civil society including corporate leaders, top law firms, and elite universities decided to submit to Trump's authoritarianism? And it was legitimized because he won in 2024 with <checks notes> 49.7% of the popular vote? What now?

In Silicon Valley and around the business world sphincters are tightening of CEOs who decided it was smart business to attach themselves to Trump's ass like barnacles to the hull of a sunken ship. Oops.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?
