Breitbart is blaming the Dow falling today on this "corporate antifa."
http://www.breitbart.com/economics/2017/08/17/corporate-antifa-stocks-fall-three-months/
And they're saying this "rebellion" is "a breach of corporate Americas traditional stance of public deference to the institutions of electoral democracy."
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/17/corporate-antifa-ceos-revolt-against-american-democracy/
If there is any precedent for this corporate rebellion against democratic political power, it is to be found in the era of the Robber Barons.

This is a clarifying moment in American politics. The confederacy of the media institutions, the American left, and Corporate America has aligned itself against the populist uprising that brought Trump to the White House. The battle lines are clear.

Remember, Breitbart is Bannon's media toy. I don't for a second believe he isn't still controlling it.
And he's decided to paint CEOs who take a principled stand against Trump's racism as enemies of American democracy.
A democracy in which people supposedly owe "public deference" to the president.
DEFERENCE.
Breitbart and Bannon are profoundly anti-American and anti-democratic. They believe all must bow down in deference to Trump's "populist uprising."
The fake "populist uprising" where Trump lost the popular vote by millions of votes.
