Disney vs Ron DeSantis. Whose Side Are You On?

Disney

Ron DeSantis

Neither

Other

Disney. I’m sure they aren’t necessarily genuine in being pro-LGBTQ as much as they know that it’s good for business to denounce anti-LGBTQ legislation in one of the states they call home. The conservative positions on almost every culture war issue I can think of pushes me beyond “I disagree” and into “you kind of have to be true douchebag to espouse this kind of belief.” When you start characterizing innocent people who already get a real hard time in their existence as “dangers to children”, you’ve completely lost me. DeSantis is big on political theater. He smells Trump’s blood in the water, and he’s trying to lean into the loud, brash Trump approach to gain those voters’ support. Remember Tom’s of the real hardcore MAGA people just showed up for the sizzle of Trump’s campaign in 2016, these people don’t really care about politics and they might disappear again if there’s not an insult comic running for office. DeSantis is a nerd with weak charisma, so he’s desperate to cultivate some kind of hardo image people will get behind and stay behind. Everything he does is for the show of it as much as it’s for any desired impact.

I don’t know, I’m sure a mammoth corporation like Disney sucks in many ways, but their on the right side of this one. They’ll also absolutely smoke DeSantis in whatever he tries to do to them, they likely have some of the best lawyers in America. Disney is too popular to take down. These right wing boycotts never work. Everyone tried boycotting the NFL over Colin Kaepernick and they’re stronger than ever. Same with Nike. Bud Light will be just fine too. They crunched all the numbers for boycotts already, these are pros, they’ve already done the math and know they’ll ultimately survive and even come out up.

*they’re on the right side

Can we ever get a goddamn edit function on here? SHEESH

[Agagagagaga]

You think Disney is on the “right side” by supporting the sterilization and castration of young children?

Tell me more.

[loveslongnails]

@Agagagagaga Disney is certainly no angle, but Disney actually supports that? No, they never did. NOR does any parent who has a young child, you gullible little thing. You've fallen for the ruse and allowed yourself to be led away by the nose from what really matters, not to mention you wouldn't know a "fact" if it shit on your head. You're just re-spewing bullshit culture war talking points, like Fox spewed shit about the Big LIe. What DeSantis and the Florida legislature has been doing is nothing short of fascism, and you're a supporter of it.

[loveslongnails]

*typo... no angel.

[WhiteSteve]

@Agagagagaga Sterilization and castration of children is a very, very serious accusation that shouldn’t be tossed around if you have no concrete evidence of this being done with any measure of regularity. You should cite legitimate sources with hard numbers to support a claim like that in order for it to be taken seriously.

Most actual physical transitioning (puberty blockers, etc) is not allowed until AT LEAST 16 years old, which to have some places tell it, is PLENTY old enough to work in a factory, get married, carry a baby to term, or even have sex with someone old enough to be their great-grandfather…. so, I mean….🤷‍♂️

Any “gender affirming care” before that age comes in the form of counseling. Eight year olds aren’t getting sex changes, lmfao, where do you get your information from?

[loveslongnails]

Steve, he has no information to cite because it doesn't happen. IF it does, you can bet the parents are insane and the doctors doing it are breaking already established laws. This whole thing is fear mongering by loser Republicans who know they can only retain power through fear, lies and gerrymandering. Example: the CDC reported that HALF of the women in the USA are sexually abused in one form or another during their lifetime, and 1 in 3 men are as well. What the CDC did NOT find is that a single case reported involved a drag queen. These maga-nuts say anything they want, and none of it is true.

I was blocked by Siri because she can't deal with an opposing opinion, nor understand why hers and "Ronny's" are fascist. Poor girl. Here's my last reply to her:

" Anger IS called for when dealing with little shits like the Reps in Florida who are foisting their fascist religious views on everyone. Any rational person should be angry - hence, an explanation for your apathy and ignorance.

Why ignorance? Because you're unaware of these laws yourself. Look up all the Florida bills that have passed recently, from book bans to being able to take children away from parents "suspected" of giving "gender affirming care", to being subject to defamation for calling some a homophobe even though it would be true. You ask me to list them because you're too lazy to know what they are on your own. I'm not sure how large that rock you're living under might be but do your own homework, I'm not doing it for it. I could list each bill and you wouldn't read them or give a shit anyway because you think what Ronny and the Fascists are doing is all good, and that everyone else is depraved who doesn't agree with you.

So c, mon.. go find a bill and read it, or at least the summary. C'mon. "

Disney has gone too far with being a state within a state that regulates and taxes itself. It has 37 lobbyists in Tallahassee and is used to getting what it wants. Ironically, if it had not arrogantly decided it would change legislation that had nothing to do with its business at the urging of a relatively few extremist employees, it would still have its privileges.

[Siri137]

I'm on the side of Ron, like every other sane, morally-upright person with their head screwed on properly. I hope 'Disney' goes bankrupt, I really do. No company on this earth would deserve such a fate more (with the possible exceptions of 'Netflix', 'Facebook' and 'TikTok'). May they all rot in hell for the crap they're now trying to dish out to us!

And before anyone asks, no, I don't use any of those "services".

[Siri137]

To 'LimitedBenefits101' - You are, unfortunately, correct. I just checked the detailed results. :(

[loveslongnails]

" I'm on the side of Ron, like every other sane, morally-upright person with their head screwed on properly"... LMAO That's one of the funniest things I've heard this year!
"Ron" not only lies, doublespeaks, and hates anyone who disagrees with him, but he also illegally transported immigrants, who were seeking asylum or work visa's in Florida, to other states but lying to them as well.

If only Disney could move their property somewhere else! Then "Ron" would learn what a depressed economy looks like when hotels, bars, restaurants, taxi's, car rentals agencies, golf courses, etc, close down and nobody comes to that fascist state anymore.

Ironically, as with all supporters of the nazi-fake-Christian-right wing nuts like yourself:
* the very thing you claim to be, is EVERYTHING you are NOT... "sane", "morally-upright", "having your head screwed on straight".
* the very doctrine you claim to follow

* And finally, the one dishing out CRAP to the rest of us --- is YOU, and your idol "Ron". Take heart though - no REAL Christian here is going to wish that YOU rot in hell.

[Siri137]

@loveslongnails Oh really? Can you actually back up any of these absurd claims of yours? And I really do find it rich that you accuse DeSantis of "hating anyone who disagrees with him", and yet you characterise those who disagree with YOU as, "Nazi-fake-Christian-right wing nuts". Wow. The tolerance on display right there! :D
You're the one who is nuts! You're full of them. Macadamias, pecans, peanuts - the whole shebang. You should come with a warning label for those who have allergies.

[loveslongnails]

No bitch... I don't hate those who disagree with me, I hate those who inflict their OWN beliefs on me AS LAW. I'm fine if you disagree, but when you turn it into a LAW that I have to obey because your fucking religious beliefs dictate it, then you're the enemy. YOU and your ilk are doing this. YOU are culprit, YOU are the evil. Don't fucking deflect it on us. WE had no PROBLEM co-existing with YOU, but YOU and your fuckers have a problem existing with ANYONE who disagrees with YOU. So take your deflection and bullshit and shove it up your ass. We're know who and what you are.

[Siri137]

@loveslongnails LOL, did you blow a fuse here? :D My, my. Such anger you have. To which "laws" are you here referring? No, just like every other fruitcake on the extreme left, you're just full of shit. No laws are infringing on any of your utterly depraved "rights", so you can go and indulge in whatever deviant crap it is that turns you on :P
By the way, just because I'm not an atheist, that doesn't automatically mean that I'm "religious". The world isn't neatly divided between those who "believe" and those who oppose such beliefs.
Anyway, and as I asked before, can you actually back up any of these absurd claims of yours, or are you just talking out of your ass? Come on, you didn't answer that question.

[Anonymous]

He's just crying because Disney disagreed with him about something. He's just another wannabe dictator like Trump, therefore, another loser.

[Siri137]

And here we have yet another person with a severe case of TDS. :)
"Dictator"? Really? Oh, and Biden isn't a dictator? You can't have it both ways. The U. S. is either a democracy, or it isn't, so which is it?

[NaultD]

Any government elected office shouldn't use their power for retaliation. Ron DeSantis is retaliating on "don't say gay" law that is directly infringing on freedom of speech on top of modern book burning im mean "bans" in Florida.

I personally hate Disney and personally boycott it. But rainbow capitalism is a thing. That freedom of speech issue is a liability to all profits so to maximize profits on this social issue go queers from Disney to beer. Nothing personal just business.

[exitseven]

DeSantis. Why should Disney get to make their own rules. They are part of the state of Florida. If they don't like it they should move to New York.

[Anonymous]

Disney enjoyed special treatment and an advantage over every other amusement park provider in Florida for too long already.

We really should outlaw the unequal application of the law among companies as it is outlawed among individuals.

[BCRanger10]

Very much in favor of Joe Biden's 2024 replacement.

[LimitedBenefits101]

DeSantis.

One thing is for sure most women are on the disney side.

Dont be suprised.

[mommymommymommy]

You do realize he once held his wedding at disney, right?

[Iron_Man]

Before I make a decision, explain to me exactly what’s going on

[SaoirseS]

I’d like to know that too.

[Iron_Man]

@SaoirseS yes indeed

[Anonymous]

I think Mickey has a bigger brain than DeSantis.

[Siri137]

How very brave of you to post this anonymously.

[Dargil]

I never liked Tomorrow Land anyway.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Disney

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

DeSantis. Disney has become a p. o. s.

[Britney04]

Disney by far.
