I agree. But these business Republicans tend to vote with conservatives because that’s the only way to get the economic policies they desire.
For some bizarre reason, social tolerance and pro-business economic policy are not linked in our two party system. Which is strange. Tolerance is a much better environment for growth than bigotry. And regarding the left, it’s seriously bizarre to favor social freedoms but desire policies that allow the govt to take more of the population’s money and have greater legal and regulatory power over people.
