Why do conservatives cuck for corporations?

It's common to see in the MAGA and Boomer spheres people who blame socialism or communism for a lot of things, and although sometimes their accusations true, they don't have anything bad to say about capitalism.

And yet, big capitalistic corporations are the single group that hates conservatives the most and works the hardest to undermine and destroy everything they hold valuable. Why then do conservatives think it is a good idea to place even more power in the hands of these corporations?
 
Boomer conservatives were bought off decades ago and are generally still invested in the idea of Fordism still really being a thing despite decades of outsourcing and globalization efforts. Because they fail to recognize the full legal extent of such efforts and just how lopsided everything is in society, they'll often stan for corporate interests and let themselves be deluded by the ideas of Jeffersonian democracy even though these firms more or less spit in its face.

>implying that shitlibs and "leftists" in general don't cuck to corporations like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft.

The left kowtows to digital corporations because they don't care about the gross misuse of power, monopolistic overreach, or anything remotely antitrust-related to those corporations if it means that their little echo chambers are safe. The right kowtows to the will of "traditional" companies and the idea of free-market capitalism, blissfully unaware that the most successful corporations will inevitably rule like a government once they quash out the competition.

Either way, both sides are willing to lick corporate or government boot if it lines up with their worldview. Just look at how many fucking retards were happy about Trump threatening to get rid of Section 230 despite it being the reason why KF is even able to exist.
 
Because the main alternative, combining Social Right Values with Economic Left policy, was championed by the Nazis and then they lost. They certainly were not the only country to do something like that, not even the only ideology, but the fallout from WW2 left it's mark.

Also I suppose the American two party system has something to do with it as well.

@Grog - Examples? Your title and question is so ineloquent and abrasive, if you want a genuine answer, you'll need to be specific.
Most normal people understand that Communism and to most degrees - socialism - is for autistic retards who have never had to work or share anything in their entire life.
Those who propose it think it will be a) an easy ride compared to capitalism and b) a swapping of power to them from others.
Regardless - Perhaps normal people like capitalism because it works. They understand that "big corporations" are mostly entitled to function in ways they see fit. When those ways start to become bothersome to society, people usually demand regulation or guidelines. The system works to the best degree it can.

Before you say it - the libertarian argument about "they're a private company they can do what they want" is always flawed.
You demand regulation when a company has bad environmental or OHS practices, hence why you get industry bodies to monitor and set guidelines and government bodies to oversee enforcement ; it's not wrong to ask that for corporations and their political/social justice biases either. Social and political beliefs are the same kind of thing as environmental and OHS beliefs and they should be monitored.

"Conservatives" aren't a hivemind who want, unilaterally, "more power" given to corporations.
They just respect the right of companies to move in between the guidelines and for the system to function relatively well to prevent injustice.
Communists are the ones who whine about "seizing muh means" - they're the ones who want to take the power away from others so they can demand it be run, usually under duress and by physical force - the way that best serves them.
 
Because they create jobs ya dang libtard! God bless the coca cola corporation!
 
Follow on the question-when asked this why to they immediatly switch into tangent about how the left sucks?
Because the left is generally a force that has an incessant need to co opt all elements of society. The right generally wants to be left alone. It’s the definition of their political doctrines. Corporations have been a great way to improve the economy, yet like all things, become liberal over time. It’s only natural to blame the left and their intrusive ideology for the problem.
 
It's not necessarily conservatives. They're turning on the corporations these days for the most part, because the conservative new media (Crowder, Shapiro, Beck, etc.) has turned on them, and they're finally realizing anyone right of Mao is despised by the corporate overlords.

It's basically everyone who isn't a libertarian. Boomers love them because they think corporations represent peak capitalism. Neolibs and their politicians love them because they're cronies. Antifa/BLM types pretend to hate them but love anything in Silicon Valley because it's obsessed with woke diversity initiatives and silences anyone who disagrees, and also because they're all retarded young adults who are hopelessly addicted to their narcissistic social media presence.
 
Cold war, if you don't like big business you're probably a commie!

It's also tech stuff. Google provides me with this service I like, and I don't pay attention to stuff too close - so they gotta be great.

Because I think they know that their weakest points, or at least most unpopular ones, are in this area, so they try to quickly turn the conservation around to a subject they can easily win (like how much the modern left sucks for example).
