        Anti-woke

        I don’t think business cared about the odd GOP “Anti-woke” agenda seeing it instead as benign red meat to feed to the base. Well, business didn’t care until it started affecting the money train. At that point you get independents and a small number of business minded GOP voters staying home instead of voting for GOP candidates.
