Where is this anti-corporate sentiment coming from on the right?
The right defended corporations from the left-populist OWS.
The corporations responded by cozying up with the left and pushing identity politics and woke ideology on customers/employees, and assisting the left in punishing the right for COVID non-compliance, disagreeing with LBGT stuff, etc. etc.
There is a lot more to it than that, but I think that sequence was part of the tipping point.

He was also a big Ezra Klein, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and RFK fan, so no if anything he seems to be a radical Enlightened Centrist.

This is largely the wrong framing.
The right showed the power of the boycott after the Target bathroom fiasco and the left adapted and started utilizing this power, specifically amplified following the Charlottesville riots. Then boycotts and threatening corporations became the enemy for the right (sometimes, obviously), as the Left used that threat to get corporations to promote their causes.
This is a classic "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" scenario.

My Grandfather was anti-Longite in the LSU band when Huey Long was governor and said that when word came out that Long was shot he held his breath because he knew 10 people that could've done it (it happened to be none of them).

Good grief. So the left didn't know about boycotts :
JFC!!! Thousands of leftist boycotts have been used. Don't ride a bus in Montgomery to don't eat at Chik fil A. The right showed the power of them to the poor ignorant stupid lefties? Wow.

False.
All of us here on The Right, including everyone in my bunker, has exceptionally well-adjusted psychology. But then, unlike all you loons out there, we've rooted out all the Pod people and have pure non-alien lineages as tested on my Humanoid Purity disgronificator.

I'm not sure I'm following you.
If your argument is is that it was Target-Leftist Boycotts-Corporate action in response-Conservative disapproval, I don't think that sequencing makes any sense.
By 2016 the right's disenchantment with corporate America was already surfacing alongside Trump's populism and the rise in DEI/LGBT themes in corporate America, which were getting new oxygen in the Trump era, were low branches to grab on to. Hence the Target fiasco happening at all.

Comparing Trump to Nelson Mandela?
I asked chatGPT what they have in common:
Donald Trump and Nelson Mandela have some broad similarities, but they come from very different political, social, and ideological backgrounds. Here are a few things they share:
1. **Charismatic Leadership**: Both are considered charismatic figures who have had a profound impact on their respective countries. Trump, as a businessman and president, inspired a significant portion of the U.S. electorate, while Mandela's leadership was central to the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.
2. **Controversial Figures**: Both men have been polarizing figures, evoking strong reactions of support and opposition. Trump’s presidency sparked intense political division in the U.S., while Mandela’s activism, and later presidency, was met with admiration by many but also criticism, especially in the context of his early involvement with armed struggle.
3. **Political Influence**: Both wielded significant political influence, though in very different contexts. Trump became the 45th president of the United States, while Mandela served as the first Black president of South Africa and a global icon for peace and justice.
4. **Resilience**: Both have shown resilience in the face of adversity. Mandela endured 27 years of imprisonment under the apartheid regime, and Trump faced numerous challenges and controversies throughout his career, especially during his presidency.
However, their legacies are markedly different, particularly in their philosophies and contributions to society. Mandela is celebrated for his role in ending apartheid and promoting reconciliation, while Trump’s legacy is more contentious, marked by his populist style, economic policies, and divisive rhetoric.

where are you seeing this? I haven't seen this reported anywhere.
I have family in Baltimore that are familiar with the guy. He went to Gilman (exclusive boys school) and was the valedictorian. If he's a Bmore private school kid, he's not a conservative.

An Ivy League student and anti capitalist is not a right profile, not at all of the right
