"We can do this the easy way or the hard way,"

Oh, well if it's extortion, then who are we to argue against it? If only there was some sort of constitutional principle that would protect speech. We are just a poor widdle $200 billion corporation with more lawyers than god. Thank you Mr. Fascist. Here's some money for your next perpetual inauguration.

Edit:
Even the most servile collaborators discovered that fascist "partnership" was temporary convenience. Hugo Stinnes Jr. kept his empire briefly by genuflecting to Nazi ideology, but ultimate control still flowed upward to party apparatus. The Hugenberg media conglomerate supported Nazi rise, then found itself gradually absorbed into Goebbels' propaganda machine.

The collaborators are likely to be purged by the regime they are collaborating with. Lick the boot, get the kick.

To put a finer, party insider specific, point on it, there are a lot of Röhms running around right now thinking that they are Himmlers.
