I like DeSantis, and I don’t Like Disney. But, I have to say it . . .

This is something I don’t understand. How is it that anyone who isn’t on the fringe Right is somehow a leftist?

The two-party system, and our inability to get over it, is what causes that. For us or against us, etc...

You should look in the mirror. Your hypocrisy is showing. A majority of voters in the states where Segregation was the law thought it was right, and moral, and a great idea. It was proper you see.

It wasn’t social pressure that ended it. But Courts and action by the President. The practice was ended despite the wishes of Democracy.

One of the differences between a Democracy in the pure form, and a Constitutional Republic is the foundational laws. The Constitution. This has among other things the principle that we are all to be treated equally.

You can't change the passed. Especially when the passed is already changed. Equal rights won that war. Celebrate it. There's no need to harp on it and make out like it's still the same.

What you object to is not the challenge to Democracy. But the fear that you might end up looking like a bigot later.

I don't care what you think I might look like. I know what I believe in, what I think is right or wrong.

The reason that they can’t Democracy Gun ownership is the Constitution. The reason that they can’t Democracy radical speech out is the Constitution. If you are such a fan of democracy why aren’t you championing the will of the people on those issues?

I'm not even sure what you're saying? The will of the majority is what democracy is.

But let’s get back to Disney. What happens if the Democrats start to target Companies that support positions they disagree with. Not with boycotts or protests. But with actual legislative action. Laws. I bet you howl so loud the seismic monitors on the moon register it.

Maybe. Maybe not. I wasn't going to stop those morons from tearing down statues. I didn't obsess with Twitter being ran by a bunch of leftist clowns. I simply didn't join them.
The left has tried to cancel Twitter. But it didn't work.

What is happening in Florida isn’t Democracy. It is Authoritarianism. It is the tool of the Dictator. That’s why DeSantis’s presumptive run for the Presidency is over before it begins. Voters in the districts affected by DeSantis war on Disney object. And if Disney announces they are leaving the State, which is possible, a lot of Floridians will be mad.

Call it what you want. But the majority of folks aren't LGBT and don't want them influencing their lifestyle on them. It's the same as not wanting drug dealers influencing their children, or gun nuts, or anything people simply don't agree with.

DeSantis is a thug. This isn’t helping Republicans. It is hurting them. They’re losing as we speak and pretending that this makes them a winner. It’s George Wallace in the steps of the University to use our Segregation example.

I'm not a Republican, and I'm enjoying what DeSantis is doing. I also HIGHLY enjoy watching the Trumpbots and the left align themselves over DeSantis. And now that Trump has come out in favor of Disney, I've got my popcorn ready.
IMO, Trump's always been to liberal. Especially when it came to things like Covid spending, and his grandiose "Platinum Plan." Giving $500 billion to black communities just because they were black communities. That's not only racist. But it's socialism too.
Why the left is so opposed to Trump is beyond me. Hillary would've never gotten the Platinum plan done. She never would've gotten the bump stock ban. And she never would've been able to fund gender studies like Trump did.

It's party loyalty. You know, like the USSR and NAZI Germany used to have.

DeSantis should not be using the power of his office to go after Disney for their wokeness.



ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Disney CEO Bob Iger on Monday said any retaliatory actions by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature against the company that threaten jobs or expansion at its Florida resort is not only “anti-business ... but anti-Florida.”

Answering a question during an online shareholders’ meeting, Iger said that the Republican governor and lawmakers appeared to be retaliating against the company for exercising its constitutional rights. He referred to the incident last year when Disney criticized Florida’s law dubbed by critics “Don’t Say Gay” while Bob Chapek was helming the company at the time. The measure bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, as well as lessons deemed not age-appropriate.

As far as I know, the government of Florida did not grant special privileges to Disney so that they could always spread a healthy and wholesome message of conservative values. They gave them privileges because they thought Disney World (or Disneyland, whichever is in Florida) would be draw to tourists, a provider of jobs, and other financial benefits.

No matter how much I agree with DeSantis views on protecting the rights of families and children, I don’t agree with him using the power of the state for to punish those who disagree with those views.

Maybe granting those privileges was a bad idea in the first place. Maybe it started off good, but now is no longer favorable to the people of Florida. Those are perfectly legit reasons to end them. But if Florida came out in favor of DeSantis ideas, I have to think that he would let them keep those privileges no matter how beneficial or non-beneficial to Floridians.

Political favors for supporters, and political revenge on detractors? Dems do that. We should not.

They decided to shit on his agenda. Disney joined a chorus of people who were mislabling and lying about his bill. You dont get special privildges from the state while at the same time actively working against the will of that states people.

Georgia would love to have them. Georgia already gives sweetheart deals to companies to move to the state.

What Georgia usually offers is State assistance in procuring the land, huge tax breaks, and incentives including running power lines and other utilities. For Disney they would bulldoze Macon to get the park here.

Being non MAGA Republicans Georgia knows that bringing jobs and businesses to the state is a good thing.

The best attraction in GA is Stone Mountain.
