People think rich business people (the GOP) know how to run a government if they run a business, but it doesn't work that way. They're in business for the profit, are autocratic by nature, and lie, steal, and cheat people (and their own taxes) to get there. It's all about them and what they can gain for themselves. Those in the GOP who haven't run a business or made a fortune are otherwise just mean little people who want to control others, i.e., Christian Nationalists. The decent Eisenhower style Republicans are long gone.

The type who can run a government efficiently are able to put up guardrails to protect societal norms and are people who understand the responsibility of a government that works for everyone. Gov. Pritzker of IL is an example and also is an exception to the billionaire business model type.
