Your criticism has been that Disney's Reedy Creek district was being singled out from all the other identical districts for punishment because the Governor considered them an enemy.

My criticism was of the state punishing a private corporation for their political views.

You tried to pretend the legislation was about other issues.

Do you think the repeal of the Reedy Creek Improvement Act was primarily a reaction to Disney's opposition to the Parental Rights in Education bill?

You first implied you don't support DeSantis on one thing but really you don't support DeSantis on a lot of things.

As you yourself asked: “Why the charade?”

What charade? When did I imply I only had one issue with Florida's use of state power?

“When did I imply I only had one issue with Florida’s use of state power?”

Here: “My criticism was of the state punishing a private corporation for their political views.” The context was just Disney.

And here: “But this has nothing to do with the fact that the state is punishing Disney for their political views.” The context was just Disney.

And here: “They did it to punish Disney for opposing the Parental Rights in Education Bill.” The context was just Disney.

It wasn’t until your post 41 that you admitted to your larger animus: “Frankly, I’m not a big fan of governments fighting the culture wars but I know both sides do it.”

That has to mean you are opposed to people electing governors and legislators to set public policy on cultural issues like crime, schools, reparations, drugs, immigration, protecting children from predators, and state budgets that fund this and not that.

Let me get at it another way: name one piece of legislation in the past 50 years in Florida, or your state, or at the federal level that did not impact culture.
