However once in office the fascist leaders yank the oligarchs hard,
demanding total loyalty and support, and a big cut of corporate profits.

We can see this playing out with DeSantis and Disney in Florida.
I suspect Disney wasn't giving the money cut DeSantis wanted, it is not
just about LGBT issues.

It remains to be seen if the American oligarchs cave to the GOP fascists or not.
