I do in fact agree with you, but I'm coming from the opposite side of the spectrum.

Companies do in fact involve themselves with politics quite a bit. It's called lobbying. I do think that lobbying is the single most important threat to Democracy, in the US and everywhere else. I do wish that companies stayed out of politics in that way.

I also think that when one side is literally putting children in cages it's not a "slippery slope".
