"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.

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.
They're not against corporations, they're just unhappy with how far they are lagging behind the most insane and unhinged right wingers. I'm also unhappy to report that democrats are very much right leaning and love nothing more than to attack their own progressive wing. If they spent even half as much fervor on attacking republicans the democrats would win every major election forever against the republicans. This is why so many people in the US are so demoralized about voting. Nothing changes, the two parties are almost identical when it comes to actual policies and not just empty posturing.
