    No, they don’t have to. The corporations are the ones who want to control everyone. The U.S government is just a tool for them. The politicians are basically just actors at this point.

      It’s a bit more complicated than that and trump also isn’t as easy to control cause he is a member of the billionare class. It’s why there was that movement to try and replace trump with DeSantis. There’s also multiple factions. of billionaires as well. Some of them are idealogical fascists. Some only care about money. Some are technofeudalists. Corporations or more accuratlely Capitalists control the government yes. But the billionare class isn’t a monolith. There’s also a cost benefit analysis. Morals aside there is little benefit for apple to oppose trump unless they think opposing trump will significantly impact their sales. Which reasonably don’t think will be the case. especially if the competitor is also playing ball.
