I think what schmalts sees is not anti-capitalism but anti-oligopoly. American has a long history of breaking up oligopolies since the Sherman act: Northern Securities (Railroad trust), American Tobacco, Standard Oil, AT&T. Most Americans the last 18 months see corporations blatantly buying politicians and data centers popping up next door and probably look at tech firms as needing some regulation. Ironic that the market reaction to Google separating Youtube and Facebook splitting off Instagram might very well be positive.
