    But Disney themselves donated plenty to R candidates for years. The state and its inhabitants are finding out what that gets you.

    I’ve spent far more time in the sunshine state than i ever would wish on anyone, Im not saying everyone in the state is brainwashed but there are plenty of people who cheer on as their state is imploding.

      We have to acknowledge that Republicans have lots to offer if you’re a mega corp.

      1. They pick up the phone for you and your lobbyists - day or night
      2. They lower your tax burden
      3. They functionally killed unionization - allowing you to pay your executives enormous sums of money while the majority of your workforce struggles financially.
      4. If you’re somehow unable to outright buy their legislative agenda with bribes campaign donations, they can instead be forced to comply with subtle threats to leak details of their various homosexual escapades to the media.
      5. They tend to have absolutely no morals - which is great for your shareholders.

      But you see, Disney made the mistake of going woke. How dare they cast non-white or any gay characters in anything. Next they’ll tell us women should be able to vote. It’s a slippery slope.
