In reply to the discussion: DeSantis Promises Florida Will Control Disney Content [View all]Initech
(103,300 posts)66. It's not just Desantis. It's Fox News.
This whole thing started because Desantis is trying to win points with Fox and the right wing echo chamber so he could run for president. Everything he's following is straight out of Trump's playbook, but without the insane rage tweets.
Trump is just a symptom. Fox / AM radio / Sinclair / John Birch / Federalist Society / megachurches are the real problem that is facing this country. Trump's just a useful idiot to them, when he becomes too much of a risk, he'll be cast aside, and that's what it looks like is happening now. Same thing will happen to Desantis and anyone these assholes decide to run in the future. We have got to realize that the propaganda is the problem.

He can try to defend his contract controls, but it boils down to Disney's 1A rights of content.
