“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.
Exactly. The context was Disney so that's what I was addressing. It's kind of how this forum works.

Abuse of state power and government fighting the culture wars are different things. I'm not a fan of either but you're conflating them in an attempt to deflect.
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?

Of course not, but I think those concerns are more legitimate when the governor isn't running around the country bragging about his war on woke as he contemplates a presidential campaign.
But as I said, it's fairly common political practice these days on both sides.
