Disney's Colossal Political Error in Challenging DeSantis Will Cost It Dearly
PJ Media ^ | Apr 10, 2022 11:39 AM ET | Rick Moran

Despite that self-evident truth, Disney unwisely — perhaps stupidly — challenged the governor to fight back when it came out against the Parental Rights in Education bill, which opponents have deliberately misnamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

According to this article in The Grid, Disney exercised its considerable power and influence under the radar and behind the scenes — until now. Whether the company became overtly political because of lobbying by a small but vocal radical minority who demanded Disney “do something” about the bill or whether executives were already on board with a radical agenda isn’t important.

What matters is that, in the struggle between Disney and the Republican governor and potential 2024 candidate for president, Disney is currently losing. And if it doesn’t cut its losses and go back to making kids smile and stockholders happy, the fallout will cost it dearly.

Republican lawmakers have given Disney extraordinary concessions over the years that pretty much allow the company to do whatever it wants. But that may change. And if it does, Disney, the state of Florida, or the Florida Republican Party will never be the same.

The current situation leaves Disney “trying to slay the beast that they made,” said State Rep. Anna Eskamani, a Democrat representing Orlando who has criticized the sway of corporate dollars in Florida politics. “They were giving to these Republicans who have a history of homophobic and transphobic stances. They gave without a second thought. Republicans also accepted those donations without a second thought.”

And that arrangement worked for both sides — until now. DeSantis’ press secretary, Christina Pushaw, told Grid that Disney’s statement pledging to do everything possible to repeal the law marks a turning point. “Disney is not the legislature,” she said. “They’re not the governor. Nobody elected them.”

Who would have though that preying upon children, and using animated movies, theme parks and cartoons to “Groom” them into sexual playthings, could possibly backfire? Completely unpredictable, right? /s

On top of all of this LGBTXYZ garbage, they’ve been killing off two franchises - Marvel and Star Wars - with all of their woke ideology.

Are you saying Disney doesn’t hold any influence over social matters?

Disneyland must loose its property rights
and property and all assets.

They preyed on and ATE CHILDREN,
protected by Congress
(you can trust them ... they raised their pay, and
gutted yours, who survived their KNOWING death-”JABS”.

Disgustingly STILL covered up by the MSM,
just like Epstein Island and all the carnivorous attendees.

Another entity challenging DeSantis is Georgia if it elects Abrams.

If he really has then power to revoke or change the Weedy Creek agreement then he holds all the cards.

The plethora of child actors, who have gone on to be yachters and drug addicts would seem to attest to this.

If all this is true about their agenda against children, and I think that it is, then I agree. They should be shut down and Florida would be better off burning this grove of idol worship— imho.
