I'm not sure I understand how a corporations support, or lack there of, for social political issues is relevant.
I hesitate to invoke actual Nazis, but by your argument, it's okay for a corporation to say, "The government has decided that slave labor is legal. The government has also determined that my product is critical to the security of our nation. The government is even providing me with a workforce of slaves to allow me to increase production while slashing compensation costs. Yay, the stockholders will be so pleased! Bonuses for everyone (who doesn't run afoul of any of the ever increasing racial purity laws.)"
Just because something is legal doesn't make it right, and corporations, as virtual human citizens of this democracy, have obligations to the greater good of the institutions that grant them their existence and vitality.
Corporations should use what clout they have in their community for the well-being of their officers, their stock-holders, their employees, and their community members.
