Stock Market is a friend of Diversity Part 3 [1]

I know it’s hard to believe that the Stock Market can be good to Democrats. Good towards diversity. But it is, or at least can be.
First off, markets don’t like social instability such as war. The revolution the Republican Party is trying to pull off lacks a strong social foundation. MAGA ideology is heavy on object praise and Symbolism, but light on social interaction. It does not look to understand humans. People are too complex and hard to control. Objects and symbols are far easier to prop up.
Because today’s GOP lacks social strength, the Stock Market eventually picks up on this. The Stock Market is very organic. It can change at a whim. When things are good, the market reflects that. When things are bad, it reflects that too.
Investors invest money, but, they also invest in peoples behavior that drives the money. The market doesn’t care if someone is rich or poor, gay/trans or straight, immigrant or native born. It just cares about the number of people that participate in the economy. When an Authoritarian government removes participants from the economy, the markets reflect week growth. Large social participation is key to a strong market. Investors don’t invest in Authoritarianism. They invest in what people want. For this reason, Authoritarianism, which is anti-social, cannot exist along side a free market economy that relies heavily on social participation.
During Trumps first term, the markets did well with record growth. But he also had many moderate Republicans in his administration that kept him from going off the rails. Plus investors did not see the revolution driven Trump that we see today. Now that Trump has no guard rails, investors are taking notice. They see Trump has bought into thinking he is a religious symbol. They see he and his administration has cheapened the law and order of our country by ignoring judges orders. This instability has caused the markets to go down far more this year than it did during Trumps first term first year.
We may see those who work in the Stock Market have a more favorable opinion with Democrats in the future. Because of what investors are seeing in the Republican Party currently, they may feel the Democrats are a safer, more stable bet.
It makes you wander why the GOP placed all their eggs in this basket? The eggs are turning sour and they’re still expensive!
