Nice sentiment. 'They' the corporations like things just the way they are.
Who do you think comes out ahead here?
Not necessarily. Let's be clear: Corporations are money engines. That's all they do. They have no morals, they have no souls. They just make money.
The best way for them to make money is political stability. They don't give a shit who's in charge as long as it's stable and leaves them alone. An attack on the Capitol is not stability. The concept of overthrowing the US government is not stability. Both scare the shit out of corporations which is why you are seeing corporations backing away from the entire mess.
Corporations will use their money to influence government regardless who is in charge. Let's be honest, all the major Democrats take corporate money. Do you really believe Pelosi and Schumer would seek to fuck that up? They might make noise about it but they won't bite the hand that feeds them.
Example: AOC is a minor player but look who throws money at her and whom she, in turn, bends over to pick it up - https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/alexandria-ocasio-cortez/summary?cid=N00041162
