“It is a foul when you use the power of the state to punish your political enemies.”

Define punish.

If the Florida legislature gives an economic advantage by creating a self-dealing self-government for Disney but not for Sea World or Monkey Jungle World hasn't that punished those smaller tourist traps?

Define enemy.

Disney gave a $100,000 to DeSantis that we know of; doesn't sound like enemies to me.

But DeSantis doesn't like child groomers and Disney does. That is a legitimate difference in policy. And when DeSantis prevailed in the legislature, Disney began to think the Governor was disloyal to the plastic rat - after all they had done for him.

Disney expects to win the cultural wars without opposition, and when DeSantis said “no” Disney made him an enemy.

Define punish.

Taking something away from Disney (regardless of how they came to have it) because of their political views.

Disney expects to win the cultural wars without opposition, and when DeSantis said “no” Disney made him an enemy.

So DeSantis used the power of the state of FL to punish Disney for having different political views than he does.

Does anyone honestly deny this?
