Most of that party platform stuff is just fluff.
The more reactionary donors have a real generational hatred of civil service in general and the post office in particular. Alot of fringe thinking from the 1960s and 70s is front and center today.
A given politician might have their own reasons for wanting to privatize everything (profit, ideology, etc) but it's pretty consistent across the whole party that they aren't fond of any of these programs - I wouldn't actually attribute this to key donors.
