I wasn't gonna weigh in on this, but since so many people seem to be interested in In-N-Out Burger's recent $25,000 contribution to the CA Republican Party...
In-N-Out Burger also gave $30,000 to the CA Republican Party in 2017. Nobody freaked out back then.
They gave about the same amount as the private prison company GEO Group and the credit card company VISA.
Walt Disney Co. gave about the same amount to the state Republican Party as the fast food company. This was matched by CoreCivic, another private prison operator.
Other contributors to the Republicans in this same league: beer maker MillerCoors and the dialysis company Davita.
But In-N-Out Burger is a small source of funds for the CA Republican Party.

It's the oil companies, utilities, real estate industry, hospitals, and timber that are bankrolling the state conservatives.

Here's the CA Republican Party's top contributors over the past 2 years.
And yes, of course Uber gave money to the CA Republican Party.
Opioid maker Purdue Pharma gave the CA Republican Party just as much as the state's wine industry association - $2,500.
Do ya'll shop at Target? Home Depot? They gave money to the CA Republican Party, too.

So did Facebook.
