No they indeed are not (and more often the contrary). But Trump's ascension in 2016 put a spotlight on the American people no longer valuing character (or honesty) in their president. And he was literally TV famous for being a brash, rude business man . . . and known (inter)nationally for being a bad/corrupt/poor one. But because of polarization A LOT of conservative American defends him on all fronts, which is tragic. I mean, he overwhelmingly had the evangelical vote. So, sadly, in modern/current America, large swathes of "conservatives"/Right support, condone, and enable exactly that kind of "good business". (And, as you point out, they're not alone: Corporations of whatever persuasion don't have citizens' interests in mind).It was just a reference point, friend. Conservative and dishonest business are not synonymous. It would be a strange beleif indeed that you can't be cheated by someone of a particular political persuasion, or that you inevitably will be by the other. That would surely make life simpler if it were the case though.
Much love.
At any rate, consider hatchet burried.
