That's exactly it. The Republican party markets itself as being good for business, so people who have no idea what that means or what it looks like will believe them.

"Good for business" just means good for big corporations and billionaires.
It means less worker protections
Unfair wages
Reduced taxes on the rich and big business and increased taxes for the working class
It means gutting social programs that benefit middle and lower classes, in order to fund tax breaks for the rich
It means weakening and destroying unions
It means loosening or eliminating environmental protections on pollution, so big corps can pollute America's lands and waters that Americans rely on.
"Good for business" is never good for average Americans.
