billionaires donate to both sides, it's called hedging
You said big corporations not Billionaires. Show me a dollar that Bill Gates, Bezos, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell or Warren Buffet donated to the right, they didn't hedge. Most billionaires are Dem's only a very few are Republican.
Most Big Corporations are woke and give to woke causes or suffer the rath of the left.

Here is a thought I thought I would throw on here for discussion.
What about instead of countries people grouped together in regions of the world with the same or similar politics/ideology.
Let's face it people can argue to their hearts content about politics and how things should be but people rarely if ever change their point of view. In theory it means that in many countries are many people living opposed to the politics of that country/government. So in that respect under conditions they would rather not do so.
So what if instead the world was split up by different geo-political regions.
So Feminists would have their own region, Male Chauvinists another region, Racists another region, Multiculturalists another, Capitalists another, Socialists another and so on and so forth.
Then people could go and live in the region that aligned with their politics/ideology etc, so for them live in their paradise without being subjected to the whim of politics/ideology they are opposed to.
the thing about playing 'games of chance' is once in awhile ya hear about someone hitting 'a big jackpot' which gets attention but you almost never hear about the 'schmucks' (am I allowed yiddish on this site?) who lose their shirt... so noobs consider it realistic to play because of the lack of perceived negatives they don't do any sort of analysis. to determine their chances of success if they did, most of 'em would't gamble with their lives this way
even if yur a card counter, in the world's dumbest casino (doesn't reshuffle deck) when you place yur bet on the table it's always gonna be a sphicter tightening moment
good players, have real playin skillz that they've learned, it bumps up their odds poor players only have the image of the jackpot and how they're gonna spend it
how do ya say, "I dropped the toothpaste in German"? CrestFallen ach mensch...
"The 1896 realignment cemented the Republicans as the party of big businesses while president Theodore Roosevelt added more small business support by his embrace of trust busting."
Today 'ole Teddy would be a democrat, why? because he was in favor of a progressive income tax on the rich and powerful indexed for inflation, 'ole Teddy didn't want to start taxin folks until only after about 60k of income... he didn't wanna tax the labor of the 'workin man', only the plutocracy
now Republican apologists like Anne Coulter will assert that today's Republican Party is the same 'Party of Lincoln" from 1860 but it's NOT, they're connin you
Today the Republican party is more or less MAGA with 'alternative facts" that are distributed through their media outlets owned by people like Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk and a galaxy of other disinformation sites Remember 'Pravda'? now we have "Truth Social" same deal...
a simple comparison of the two Democrats New Deal/social security, etc '64 Civil Rights Act Affordable Care Act student loan forgiveness
Republicans Tax cuts for corporations and bilionaires
TODAY, you yourself Beel, have medical insurance, NOT because of Republicans (not a single Republican voted for the ACA, aka "Obamacare") you have it in spite of Republicans, cuz they were willin to let ya die without it, so that their patrons could keep more money for themselves
I'm not sure why you wanna lend political support to the party that's SO indifferent to you, that they don't care if you live or die
why is it you vote against your own interests, to maintain the staus quo of the billionaires? are you a closet billionaire Beel?
btw, I was a republican up to Ronald Reagan... as the cliche goes I didn't leave the party, the party left me I even campaigned for a Republican Senator in my youth
"Upside down" a great music video filmed in the FSU
