Off Course if Disney pandered to DeSantis , then none of this would be happening...
Disney is free to operate and headquarter wherever suits them.
If they are going to push smut onto children they might have to consider producing that content in another state because it may well be illegal here.
If Disney choses to relocate I'm sure the PGA and quite a few others would be interested in that land. You can't build enough golf courses here. The new course across the street from me is so packed its hilarious and I'm pulling a couple of balls out of my pool every week. There is a cute girl who drives around in a cart modified with a humidor and cocktails. Gotta love Florida.
Picture a gigantic put-put golf course around Cinderella Castle in PGA-Land.

Disney is pushing smut on children? Please enlighten us with a few examples.

The funny thing is that everything the democrats have failed at, so has GWB_NPC. I remember when he was all on about Rebekah Jones and that stupidity (hell, its in this very thread).
Democrats only have themselves to blame for the rise of Ron DeSantis
The mercurial rise of Ron DeSantis is the Democrats’ fault.
I say this with gratitude, not regret. Absent some catastrophe, DeSantis is going to win a second term as governor of Florida this coming November and, after that, he has a fair shot of being president. This is partly because he has done an excellent job for his state. It’s also because he was unusually lucky in his enemies.
Unable to help themselves, the Democrats have aided him at every stage. They still are.
2018 was a good year for the Democratic Party, but not so good a year that the quality of its candidates didn’t matter. Had the party nominated a credible centrist in Florida’s toss-up gubernatorial race — Gwen Graham, for example — that candidate would not only have won the governor’s mansion for the Democrats for the first time in two decades, she’d have ended DeSantis’ career.
But the Democrats didn’t choose a credible centrist. They hosted a messy and divisive primary, selected the radical Andrew Gillum as their nominee, lost by 0.4 points, and set DeSantis up for a bright future. Opportunity: missed.
The Dems still had a chance to turn it around, even after he won. Ron DeSantis is a good governor, but he is not perfect, he does not get every call right, and he is as susceptible to base political temptation as any other human being. Florida has undoubtedly grown more Republican of late, but it is not Mississippi, and the Democratic Party will eventually win a big election here simply by being a sober, credible alternative to the GOP.
If the Florida Democratic Party understands this, it has a peculiar way of showing it. Instead of calmly rebuilding, it has allowed itself to become so crazy in its opposition to DeSantis, it has elevated him to national status, provided him with all the incentives he needs to play Churchill at the gates, and, by confirming that any Republican (not just Trump) will be treated terribly in the press, turned him into a rock-ribbed conservative hero.
If Democrats had picked a centrist like Gwen Graham (right) as their nominee for governor in 2018, they could have won the seat. Instead, they chose radical Andrew Gillum (left) and lost.
To DeSantis’ delight, his opponents have become addicted to stepping on rakes. In their desperation to take him down, the Florida Democratic Party has chased one absurd conspiracy theory after another. Its leading lights have sided with the disgraced fabulist Rebekah Jones, who falsely accused DeSantis of manipulating state COVID data; it has spread a debunked “60 Minutes” claim that there was something untoward about Florida using the state’s largest supermarket chain to distribute vaccines; it has pretended that the plan to make Florida the 23rd state with a state guard augurs something sinister; and it has advertised a link that does not exist between contracts awarded to the drug company, Regneron, and donations to DeSantis’ campaign.
Worse still, the party has come to believe its own rhetoric. Nikki Fried, the state’s Democratic agriculture secretary (and a potential 2022 gubernatorial nominee), has taken to claiming that “Florida isn’t a free state”; to comparing DeSantis to “the leader of a communist country,” to a “dictator,” and, “in a lot of ways,” to “Hitler”; and to charging that he represents a “danger” to “the world.” In the meantime, her colleagues in the legislature have gone all out to oppose a set of COVID policies that have made Florida a magnet for disgruntled Americans and to assail a K-3 education bill that, despite the dishonest way in which it has been characterized (“Don’t Say Gay”), is popular among Democrats.
The results have been predictable. DeSantis now leads his likely opponents in every reputable statewide poll, has an approval rating of around 55%, and, when compared to the hysterical descriptions to which voters are treated, appears refreshingly normal to the average American.
Bang-up job, guys.

I disagree with this.Bill Nelson who is a moderate democrat and had the advantage of incumbency lost the FL Senate race in that same election by a larger margin than Gillum.
Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida revoked Disney’s special tax status, a move widely seen as retaliation for the company’s criticism of a state law.

The move, which reverses 55 years of precedent, came after a weekslong battle with Disney that largely centered on the company’s criticism of an education law Mr. DeSantis signed that is at the center of America’s latest culture fight. The education law, called the “Parental Rights in Education” measure — or, to its critics, “Don’t Say Gay” — limits classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in some grades.

Disney should say they are shutting down Disney World until the law is reversed and DeSantis is out of office.The tourism revenue,tax revenue,job losses,empty hotel rooms,empty restaurants ,Orlando economy etc would probably get DeSantis booted from office.Show some balls Disney,fight back!
Looks like he signed it: https://www.zerohedge.com/political...special-tax-district-sending-it-desantis-desk
