Wait, wait a second here.

A corporation makes a political donation. The politician takes an action that a segment of the population doesn't like, and now there's a call for repercussions to the corporation.

Why are you ridiculing this? This is exactly what's supposed to happen. Hopefully other potential corporate donors will think a second before donating on the next go-round.

They ridicule it because they're jealous and afraid of the numbers of actual real people out there who are being told that they have to give and give and give while billionaires remain on the take.

They ridicule it because it's real and not just some bullshit symbolic patriotism like renaming french fries "freedom fries" because a certain country doesn't feel like going to war with you.
