Florida lawmakers to discuss takeover of Disney self-governing district

[Poopymonster]

First they came for Disney...

Disney? Didn't you see. DeSantis's hand picked "board" unanimously decided to "Encourage" and "Recommend" a rename of Disney World to something that panders more to their audience, I mean, is more in line with their views.

Dilbert World.

Dilbert World.

Well someone reads the New Yorker.

I get what all the commotion over Dilbert is, but good lord, I haven't read that comic in nearly 15 years. I was honestly surprised it was still going.

Homeboy found out that unironically arguing Trump was a terrible person but also a genius and he really likes him and you have to really give it to him for how good he is at defrauding people that's what really smart people do and he likes him a lot, in 2016, was a great way to get a ton of free press. Negative press largely, but positive to a certain contrarian audience.

Disney World Hosting Gay Rights Summit in Florida

I am shocked.

I am shocked.

This is an almost textbook example of passive-aggressive behavior and I'm loving it.

[Logwyn]

There are people that want DeSantis for President....might as well dig up Hitler...bring him back to life...and let him run.

Disney World Hosting Gay Rights Summit in Florida

I am shocked.

The MLB moved the All-Star game out of Georgia to protest new laws in Georgia. Disney puts a conference in Florida ... to protest the state returning to manage Reedy Creek, and protest the Parental Rights in Education Act. DeSantis might even get some good clips in press questions to note how Florida businesses will benefit.

Man you really are just fucking awful.

The hell does that even mean.

As for "good clips" the sack of shit might get from this, who cares. Its not as if his constituency are concerned by facts or reality anyway...so he can say whatever delusional nonsense he wants and it would still be spun as a win.

[draynay]

I'm guessing it's supposed to be "protest" not "protect".

[tehdang]

Yes it was meant to be protest.

I hardly know if either are actually effective forms of protest. Punish the bad states by withdrawing events, or punish the bad states by hosting events there that certain undesirables might not like too much. To the former, the governor or spokesperson simply says they will listen to their citizens instead of corporate pressure campaigns, and to the latter, the governor or spokesperson says they're thankful for the business and have a good time.

[CastletonSnob]

I can't see DeSantis winning if he runs in 2024.

The only reason he gets away with the shit he does is because the Florida Democratic Party is so weak and ineffectual.

You say that as if it's not true on a national level as well...

Democratic Party's entire policy tends to be "Hey, we aren't Republicans!" Like that is really anything other than the base line I expect.

Unfortunately, as the Republicans continue to lose their shit, that selling point is going to be more appealing. Meaning that Democrats have even less motivation to get off their asses and actually do something... Because they know people will continue to vote for them to avoid the lunatics on the other side of the aisle.

It's essentially Maslowe's Hierarchy of Needs, applied to politics.

When one party is full-on "we're actively gonna commit intentional genocide" fascists, survival's the only consideration possible; you'll vote for anything that's not that, and you'll sacrifice other higher desires for the sake of that survival.

It's only when survival is off the table as a concern, where the Republicans as they currently are no longer exist as a functional party with any chance at representation, that you can really branch out and start considering higher-level debates about things like "economic growth" or "environmental protection" or the like. Gotta make sure the State isn't going to send your trans niece to a "regendering" camp they'll probably never survive, first.
