Ron DeSantis is set to jump into the 2024 presidential fray in mid-May
NBCJUL 2023
Disney is rightly fighting back against authoritarian governor Ron DeSantis who has repeatedly weaponized Florida’s government to infringe on Disney’s First Amendment rights. The potential presidential hopeful has tied his political identity to fighting the absurdly characterized “woke” corporation, but his real identity is his prejudice against LGBTQ+ people, as seen by his discriminatory laws. DeSantis cannot force Disney to abide.
Disney has been badly losing its battle against DeSantis, and it will continue to do so. Not only does the corporation not have any moral ground to stand on, but it also lacks any legal argument to justify its defiance of state law. Disney is shamefully committed to indoctrinating children with inappropriate content. Its behavior should not be rewarded with undeserved corporate welfare.
Ron DeSantis has proven himself a leader in a new conservative movement that doesn't put party over values. Fake conservatives have, in the name of "small government," chosen to side with Disney and, in the case of 2024 GOP candidate Nikki Haley, even invited the company and its immoral indoctrination of children to her home state of South Carolina. The Disney-DeSantis feud is separating true conservatives from the corporate shills.
