In Reagan's time it was Wall Street. Now it's Silicon Valley.
You want private organisations working for your benefit and not that of their shareholders? You need a government that actually has the gumption to challenge them. The current US government is 4 years of a surrender flag flying on the white house.
Or we could bin off this fucking failed neoliberal experiment, but that's apparently a bit controversial for far too many people

Having the gall to suggest we not allow less than 3000 people to own all of the worlds supply lines, media platforms, institutional wealth, construction companies, dissemination platforms, politicians, private equity firms and the single largest interconnected (private or otherwise) espionage and social engineering plot known to mankind?
You fucking tanky you! Go back to Russia!!!

Republicans aren't the problem here, they're a natural result of a two party system. If you have a coin, half the time you'll get the "good" side, and half the time you'll get the "bad."
And this isn't to say either side is consistently "good" or "bad," parties rarely stick anything. The deregulation you're complaining about started under Jimmy Carter, affectionately called "the great deregulator." In fact, many (most?) of Carter's changes took effect during Reagan's term, and it was incredibly successful.
However, for some reason Democrats are now against deregulation, probably because Republicans took the credit and Democrats needed to rebrand.
That doesn't imply that Trump's deregulation is "good," it just means deregulation isn't inherently "bad."
