    1. I didn't claim that you said 'just' the right wing, I expanded upon your comment.
    2. Your first and second sentence are at odds with each other "I didn't say it was so. But it is so." lol

    "Only" about 65% of lobbying goes to right wing anymore. If we were about 20-25 years ago you'd be right, but we're not. Corporations learned that it's really easy to get the left on their side, just update their Twitter avatar every June and virtue signal. I can't believe the "right wing" is the one AGAINST corporations in the US.

    Edit: Preemptive (maybe, depends on how long I took) sourcing:

    6 of the top 10 Lobbying recipients are...Democrats. I'm fairly sure total cash value still leans republican, but it's not what it used to be.
