What’s his endgame? If he makes it too toxic for Disney to stay in Florida, that’s 10s of thousands of Floridians out of work because of his direct action, and potentially 100s of thousands in ripple effects. He could easily throw Florida into a depression with his actions, and that’s if he’s successful? So how does he win?
As typical of most GOP candidates, Ron has nothing to offer of any real substance; no efforts to improve the quality of lives of his constituents, no plans for economic growth, increased job availabilities or salary increases to meet the cost of living, no control of rising insurance and rent costs, and no legitimate hopes for a better future.
Instead, he campaigns on right leaning ideologies and cultural wars, further dividing the country. And a large group of Americans are falling for it.
But don’t forget, a much larger group of Americans are not!!!
We are watching you Ron Desantis and we reject your narcissistic desires for power and control! America was founded on rejecting those exact characteristics in a government!
You really are asleep at the wheel.
“Woke” is simply being informed and conscious of social inequities and injustice; the exact things our forefathers challenged future leaders to transcend.
Perfectly put. He is a lightweight in way over his head and with a zero people skill set. His radical talk and compliant Rep controlled Fl legislators belie his eternal weaknesses. Above all he has no soul.
His move on Disney is definitely retaliation. That’s not the way to take care of business. If he had a problem with the 50 years old contract with Disney Why did he not have a meeting with Disney and discuss the situation instead of fighting with Mickey in the media. DeSantan behavior is that of a fascist authoritarian. He only had a problem with Disney when Disney disagreed with his woke ideas.
He is not in the right, but Disney has underestimated the power of a governor with a super majority state senate where they can pass whatever laws they want, with no repercussions because it is the action of an elected group, the florida senate, not the governor.
Don’t shoot the messenger, just remember Disney’s Bob C started this fight and went against what his head of communications told him to do, where he could still be proactive but not pick a fight like he did.
Bob I took positions like this all the time and was (is) very pro LGBTQ+, but he didn’t pick fights or get Disney into a mess like this.
And don’t forget your, and Disney’s, 1st Amendment Rights. We can say what we want without being punished by our government. What Ronnie is doing is using his elected office of government to punish Disney for not agreeing with him. Oh boo-hoo. Not everyone agrees on everything.
Disney has managed to destroy all the goodwill which Walt built up over the years. Instead of spending so much time fighting the State of Florida they should figure out how they will get anyone to waste their money at their park once Epic Universe is open.
3 years I think. I’ve sort been thinking along those same lines. Disney can shut the doors and wait him out if they want. But worse he pisses them off enough and they shut those doors and walk right out of fl. They walk still filthy rich. Disney overseas is booming. But if they do that, which amusement parks can survive? People come to fl for Disney and visit other places. Motels, restaurants, bars, junk stores… scary. Beaches have been going down hill with red tide and dead fish on the sand. Now algie the size of small islands. Per year the tourist spend 80 billion. Lot of tax dollars are generated off 80 billion. That will destroy fl. Might as well get a saw out and cut it off and let it float out to sea. The people that say let Disney leave, don’t want them here anyways. I’m like do you like flushing your toilet. This is too much thinking on my part so I don’t think about underestimating the governor. Try not thinking of him at all actually
THANKS!!!
Address the Elephant in the room. If we wanted a dictator, we would’nt live in America. He is in the wrong country. We are built on freedom of the ability to say what we believe in and NOT be proscecuted for it. Did he forget what country he is in? First Florida, then The United States of America? Think about it voters. Where are you going to move then? What country?
Agreed. What DeSantis did was long over due. Businesses that want to jump into the culture wars, will get burned by one side or another. It should be a lesson learned, but it took a guy with balls to finally give them what they deserved.
I disagree because Disney used their 1st Amendment Rights to speak out and DeathSantis “Retaliated” against them. What happened to freedom of speech in this case. He needs to stop! He will “NEVER” be President. Most Floridians do not like what he is doing and neither because does most Americans. DeSantis needs to be looking for ways to lowered our property taxes, mortgage and car insurance. This is what he was elected to do I of all the “culture war” BS!
Sure DS did the fascist thing and an attackedthe right to free speech that can certainly include disagreeing with the governor. He is a vindictive authoritarian everyone has to agree with him or else. Our lily livered legislature is proof of that. Whatever it takes to get reelected no matter the cost to freedom and common decency
I Have Nothing to say much about DeFascist.. That said. I was here in Orlando when Disney Came here. My family , Friends and I Love you Disney . Weve been there .any many Times. I Want to Wish You The best of Luck and tell you Just how much we Love you.. we would all be Crushed if you Left us.. My Respect and Gratitude to The Most Magical Place in the World goes out to you today ..Thank You Disney.💙👏🏻💙👏🏻💙👏🏻💙
He’s wasting our taxpayers money on this. Why should we not be able to vote on his stupid antics?
We are going to have to for the bill for the loss of this lawsuit and the costs of Disney’s lawyers as well.
Please don’t leave the state Disney. I’ve lived here my entire life and Disney has bought my family so much joy and happiness.
I cannot stand DeSantis! He is causing so much friction with so many people and he is an embarrassment to this state! Go Disney!!!
Disney started this! DeSantis is trying to protect our kids from predators which Disney seems to endorse! Disney needs to stay out of politics and woke agendas!
Picking a fight against Disney out if vindictiveness shows him as the evil character that he is. A cartoon of a person, throwing tantrums when people don’t bow down to him.
What DeSantis is doing is unconstitutional ! His job is to protect and uphold the constitution. He is not doing his job- in oh so many ways. Sounds like grounds for impeachment.
Florida law states that if he runs for President, he has to resign the Governorship. And he’ll never win a presidential race, so that would be a win-win for everyone (except him). Let’s hope he throws his hat in the ring very soon!!!
He passed a new law that states he can run for pres and still hold office as gov. He just passed a new one saying he no longer has to divulge his travel, his business dealings, or any other personal data, saying it would risk his security🙄
Ah, no……he can run and will still retain his governorship if he should lose a presidential bid. Either way, it’s a win-win for many of us who are supporting someone finally willing to stand up to this suck woke ideology infecting our society!
Except that the cowardly legislators passed the law giving him the right to stay in office while he runs for president and to return if he loses. Are we lucky:-(
The ‘freedom state’ unless you’re female, gay or Disney. The governor is wasting a lot of time and money on things that we Floridians want him to leave alone.
I guess you didn’t know. The Florida legislature passed an amendment that he doesn’t have to give up his position as governor and can run for the presidency. There is more Ronnie also made laws to help the homeowners loose their rights for representation paid by the insurance companies. Auto insurance companies by law have to represent you in accident disputes, but DeSantis changed that too. New laws NO more representation paid for by the insurance companies. He is taking away our consumer rights for big business. Go check out how many bills he has passed against the Florida consumers.
Ron, you should be ashamed of yourself! You were elected to represent ALL of the people of the State of Florida! You did not win the election to pick and choose which people you would represent. This is one of our biggest problems in America now. We have so many other more important issues going on in Florida “insurance” to name one and you chose to go and attack a place that some of us go to to escape reality for a little bit and enjoy ourselves. Come on, Sir, do the job you were elected to do and HELP US with our real problems!!
Desantis is an absolute disgrace to Floridians. He’s destroying this state and hate mongering everyone that isn’t cis and white. I can’t wait to see the back of his head as he slinks out of office.
The only people over sexualizing children and concerned about everybody’s specific body parts is the Desanstis and his UnAmerican supporters who don’t understand a lick about freedom.
Really, hate gilled words? You are talking about the Repugs aren’t you? Have you looked up the real definition of woke. It is not what your conspiracy theorist have tried to make it. Let’s see hate gays, hate Hispanics, hate Disney, hate anyone who disagrees with your brand of far right lies oh, and give everyone guns so we can keep having mass shootings
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination”. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities, such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.
It’s time Ronny comes out of DeSantis fantasy world. He can’t win this battle, it’s time to slowly crawl away. SIR you are a sick sick man with a GOD complex. You lose again.

Ian
He’s gone from Florida in 4-6 years either way… Disney doesn’t have to leave, they can just play the long game.
That said, I see too many people overestimating and underestimating both sides here. Nobody should be too comfortable with where this ends up…
Bert
Agreed. Disney will be here long after him. And me, too.
Patty Jones

Can anyone here define “Woke”?
Cochise
For those who don’t know:
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination”. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities, such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.
