(14,176 posts)Speaking the truth about this. Disney is more or less getting what it bargained for: they played both sides of the aisle constantly, giving money to Biden and money to the twice impeached one term loser and treated them as if they were equal; they gave money to DeSantis and money to Gillum, and on and on.
And Disney had the nerve to make public statements critical of Gov Newsom during the pandemic because they were so hell bent on getting their amusement park open, whatever the implications to public health might be. When they didn't get their way, they made a big show of transferring several hundred jobs from FL to CA, with the unstated messages that more could follow if Newsom didn't acquiesce.
So, sure, DeSantis is terrible but Disney ain't so great, either. They couldn't even be bothered to speak out against the Don't Say Gay bill until it had passed the legislature and they had employees in open revolt. They need to fix themselves and decide where they actually stand.
