Why I'm confused (well, one reason anyway)

Opponents of the new Georgia voting law are calling for boycotts of Georgia-based businesses such as Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Home Depot, accusing them of not doing enough to prevent the measure.

I haven't knowingly patronized any one of those three companies since some time in a previous century but hey, I'll call it a boycott if boycotts work (which they rarely do).

I'm confused, though, about why. I thought the idea was to keep big corporations out of government. But now we want them in?
