The right is generally okay with coroporations on virtually everything. They were and are fine with censorship as long as its censorship they like. There is no ideological stance to anything you've listed as them being against. It's purely a case of "If it happens to me its bad".
Democrats are still on the right, which is why they are also generally don't put up real resistance to corporations on almost anything.
The left in America are the ones who actively propose things that will take away corporate power.
Meh. You can replace "left" with "left of the political center" in my previous post and the core message remains the same.
Also, you're constantly bringing up sins of the past, from a time when the Christian right was the center of gravity of the GOP. With the tea party movement and later trumpism, this center of gravity has shifted towards a more secular brand of populism/nationalism.
Maybe the following is horribly naive or out of touch, but I genuinely believe that the censorship experience of the past few years has turned a lot of conservatives more principled on the issue of free speech.

America doesn't lack a national healthcare system for any practical reason. It's because corporate power would suffer as people are no longer tied to their jobs for health insurance. and both parties, Democrats and Republicans, like that being the state of affairs.
Well, at least that's something we can agree on.
