Disney went from being the "Magic Kingdom" to the "Tragic Kingdom" in just a few short years. The once uncontested king of family entertainment infused itself with leftist politics, DEI practices, and LGBT activism to the point where it's become nigh unrecognizable. As such, Disney's self-inflicted wounds have it bleeding out and despite talk of healing itself, no steps have been made to do so.

According to the poll, 60 percent of Republicans have an unfavorable opinion of the company with 35 percent having a "very unfavorable" opinion. Democrats have almost a mirror opposite view with 61 percent favorability and 29 percent unfavorability.
Why is this a huge issue? Because Disney is first and foremost a children's media company. While it owns properties like Star Wars and Marvel, which appeal to various generations, the bulk of what Disney is revolves around children.

"Liberals are not having enough babies to keep up with conservatives. Arthur Brooks, a social scientist at Syracuse University, was the first to point this out all the way back in 2006 when he went on ABC News and blew blue staters minds. “The political Right is having a lot more kids than the political Left,” he explained. “The gap is actually 41 percent.” Data on the U.S. birth rate from the General Social Survey confirms this trend — a random sample of 100 conservative adults will raise 208 children, while 100 liberal adults will raise a mere 147 kids. That’s a massive gap."

Damn right. We made 'em, we'll take 'em out.
Liberals never used to frequent such a happy Americana place - until they took it over, then transformed it into a queer, America-hating junkyard.
Now they can keep it and be damned.
My thoughts exactly.
Here's the key to Disney's problems. We (conservative parents) have lots of the children in the country within that subset of people who can afford to take their children to places like Disney World.
The democrat black community has lots of kids too, but if you go to Disney World the majority of kids and parents are white. Why white parents take their kids to Disney more often or why black demorat parents don't would be interesting to research for another day...
And the sexual weirdo community has kids, but if they really had any heft to their numbers they would have stopped the Bud Light failure. They didn't because they couldn't. Not enough drinkers if all of them had a 6 pack a day. And they don't have the numbers for Disney either. They have enough numbers to 'protest' because the press will cover them but NOT enough numbers to buy enough Disney passes to keep the parks going.
Three year? It’s below where it was 9 1/2 years ago.
I am living for March 22, the day Snow White is scheduled to be released. It’s gonna bomb SO badly
The Bush Rule: “Attacking your base is not a winning strategy”
Mickey Mouse has transitioned into Chester the Molester.
Wouldn’t you think Republican leadership would be crowing over this news? Between Disney, Bud Light and new Hollywood movie releases crashing, our boycotts are successful. But apparently embarrassing to donor class.

Governor Ron DeSantis has been and is the most prominent conservative leader in the fight against these depravities.
That’s why the silences amongst the donor classes.
It's not due to conservatives, it's due to Disney's mismanagerial team.
“why black demorat parents don’t”
I will take a wild guess. Disney World is too F#ckin EXPENSIVE.
We took our son eighteen years ago when he was seven. I got a deal on the hotel because a buddies brother was a manager at the Dolphin. Right by the back entrance to Epcot.
The tickets were stupid expensive. The theme parks are dated. Especially the Magic Kingdom. Epcot was okay. But I came away from the vacation with a one and done attitude. I would never go again. Everything except the hotel was a ripoff. I got the employee rate at the hotel. The rest of the parks and everything else was way too expensive. Blacks generally are not as affluent. They can not afford DW.
Unlike the commie democrats, the conservatives have to pay to get in. If they don’t show up, Disney is screwed.
what was total cost?
Disney: of the pedos, by the pedos, for the pedos.
“Three year? It’s below where it was 9 1/2 years ago.”
Yes. DIS has hit it’s nine year low as well. However, I think the current low and drop over the prior three years is due to it’s progressive culture, pro GIBLETS stance as shown in its movies, and insistence on the grooming of children. All which caused conservative’s boycott. Its stock lows prior to that were probably all due to the economy and business climate at the time.
Yes, they don’t won’t to have Disney management take the blame for poor business decisions. Like not realizing your audience were middle class families with kids who are happy with the values of their parents, not social destroyers and greedy businessmen. There was a time when the average family could take the 3-4 kids to Disney for 3 days for less than a weeks wages. not anymore. Walt is so mad that he thawing out in his freezer.
Well, to be fair, the Rainbow crowd is helping bring down Disney by boycotting Disneyworld because it’s in Florida and the folks that don’t own mirrors are afraid they’ll run into problems pretending they are something they aren’t in that state.
“Unlike the commie democrats, the conservatives have to pay to get in. If they don’t show up, Disney is screwed.”
Just like with Bud Light. The company insulted their base customers, in order to appease the activists that never purchased their product, so the loyal customers went away. Loyalty has to work both ways.
Disney betrayed and insulted (and worse) their base customers. The customers started leaving and the company said “Just Go! We don’t want you anyway!”. So more previously loyal customers are leaving. Those that Disney is appeasing do not have children, unless they steal one from someone else.
“...a random sample of 100 conservative adults will raise 208 children, while 100 liberal adults will raise a mere 147 kids. That’s a massive gap.”
Apparently, the DNC is planning to offset this massive gap of homegrown future Republicans by opening the borders to import future Democrats
