From the way American mega-corporations are going all-in on this, it seems like a long-term choice; so I think it’s one of two things: the shareholders are demanding that they go full republican (which isn’t happening AFAIK), or they’re trying to survive because they know something you don’t.
Disclaimer: not a US citizen/resident, but sad to see this happening tbh.
Edit: or it’s short-term and caused by Trump pressuring everybody to do controversial stuff in order to distract the public from the Epstein files.
They are on it just as much as they were on progressive issues very little time ago. Corpos don't have believes, they do what they think will bring them more money now
