“The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment."

As Edward Luce rightly says, “The 1930s ought to have buried the idea that business is a bulwark against autocracy.” Luce points to the behavior of his own Financial Times back then — praising Mussolini and "fascism's gift of order and progress."

@wdlindsy There were #German elite businessmen BITD who stood firmly against the Nazis, e.g. #RobertBosch or #HugoJunkers, as does e.g. #JoeKaeser nowadays when the #Nazis are calling themselves an "Alternative for Germany" #FCKAfD.

The problem for these is that they are few - when standing against a mob of brownshirts/MAGAts, all your wealth and goodwill accounts for nothing.
