Something that I think Disney is underestimating in their little spat with Governor DeSantis is how sick a large portion of Florida's population is with how they've been deferred to politically for years, perhaps decades.
Disney's ownership of a large portion of the RINO contingent is a good part of that.
The Mouse and the Florida Sheriff's Association have been the two major roadblocks to advancing gun rights in Florida.
Without one or the other, I think that movement could be made.
One reason I think that DeSantis is willing to stand up to them is the realization that Florida's economy is a lot more diverse than it used to be and tourism to Disneyworld isn't the majority of tax receipts any longer.
We can actually thank the Wu Ping Cough for that.
There's also a lot of resentment out there about how the Disney corporation keeps buying legislation to extend the life of copyright. A lot of great SF from the 30s can't be reprinted, because the owners of the intellectual property can't be found and it's still under copyright. All to protect bloody Steamboat Willie! Never mind that Mickey and the other original Disney characters have been trademarked forever, and trademarks, unlike copyrights, do not expire.
