@rbreich and the GOP has aligned with each of these corporate complaints. The GOP doesn't care about consumers, they only care about companies regardless of what they say at their rallies or on Fox news. Of course, we live in a post-truth society so they can say what they want - even if they are on camera doing the opposite and their followers will believe them.

@denniskoch @rbreich when the government governs, it’s socialism, apparently.

@gekitsu @denniskoch @rbreich I mean I’d more or less agree with that—when the government does broadly what it’s *supposed to*, that’s approximately socialism.
