Why DeathSantis’s War With Disney May Be Critical In November

You know, if this shit keeps up, Florida Governor Ron Pissantis may want to start wearing a shoe rag instead of a necktie, so he can give his shoe a quick buff when he sticks it in his mouth. And maybe a swimming cap on his head so he can keep his hair neat and clean when he sticks his head up his ass.

As I wrote earlier today, the Florida senate passed a bill designed to strip the Disney corporation of its more than 50 year old status as a Special Development Zone. If Pissantis signs it, Disney would literally lose billions by having to follow the normal state and county dog-and-pony show that other companies do for their sprawling complex.

Pissantis is doing this to punish Disney for daring to come out and slam his homophobic Don’t Say Gay law. So he is soothing his delicate snowflake fee-fees by taking it out on Disney. But once again it’s a prime example of Pissantis thinking with the little head. In other words, a dick move.

But Pissantis is making a giant miscalculation, and one that could dearly cost not only him, but his party in November. His first mistake is how he’s branding this. When Disney first spoke out, Pissantis angrily took to the stage and swore he’d rather die than have California corporate overlords dictate Florida laws. Really? That’s your best shot? Considering that Disney World is in Florida, and most ordinary people are much more likely to associate the word Disney with Disney World, and not Disneyland, it was a lame aqss shot, and he knew it.

Time for hardball, and not with Chris Matthews. Now Pissantis has his minions and flunkies, even his corporate overlords at FUX News slandering Disney’s name and reputation. The entire FUX News primetime lineup of Goebbels wanna-bes are branding the entire Disney corporation as a bunch of liberal pedophiles, who use their products and influence to groom children for sexual exploitation. Mama Gump nailed FUX News the first time out, Stupid is as stupid does. Shit, FUX hasn’t even settled their $1.2 billion Dominion voting machine suit yet, and they’re dipping into the same well again?

But here’s the rub. Disney is by far and away the single largest private employer in Florida, and many other places derive some of their income off of the Disney name and products. But neither Pissantis nor FUX News is fine tuning the message to the california corporate overlords. Instead, they’re gleefully smearing the entire company, and all of its workers with the same shit brush.

I’ve never spoken to anyone who worked for Disney that trashed the place. And I can’t remember the last time I saw news about a safety or harassment complaint being filed against the company by employees. It seems to be a pretty good employer. But how do you think when a Disney employee gets asked this question at soccer practice? So, who do you work for? I’m a digital artist for Disney. Shit Molly! Grab the kids, this is one of those pedphiles we keep hearing about on the news! I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I kind of get the feeling that a lot of Disney employees are going to take this kind of personally. And election day is only 200 days away. Don’t forget to vote GOP y’all!

But here’s a more subliminal fuck up that could be even more devastating for Pissantis and the Florida GOP. In its initial announcement condemning the law, Disney said something that struck me as coded but serious. They said; Disney is committed to doing everything in its power to overturn the law, either in the courts, or through a legislative repeal of the law. The first one is obvious, Disney will assist any way possible in any civil suits to overturn the law in the courts.

The second part is the coded part, but no politician needs a secret decoder ring. When they said or through a legislative repeal, the meaning was as clear as a church bell. Being the largest employer in Florida, obviously Disney is free and generous with its political contributions. Hell, Pissantis himself got $50,000 from Disney in his 2018 campaign. But their threat is cear, Don’t even bother coming sniffing around for a political contribution as long as this piece of shit law is on the books.

The election is 200 days away. The entire Florida state legislature, and probably about half of the state Senate is going to be on the ballot. Hell, Pissantis himself is on the ballot, and he needs the win to remain viable for 2024. But guess who else is on the ballot. The entire Florida US House delegation, as well as Li’l Marco Rubio. Why not cut them off too, make them put pressure on the state legislature to overturn the law before the funski valve gets turned back on?

But because we’re talking about the ideological mongoloids of the GOP, things can always get worse. If I’m right, Disney donations to Florida candidates is already off the table. But what if they go nationally? Tell the RNC that the Disney cash station is out of service as long as the Florida law is still on the books. But since Pissantis is as dumb as a rock, and nowhere near as cute as a pet rock, I don’t see him folding, it would make him look weak.

If so, why wouldn’t Disney switch gears and start supporting Democratic candidates in Florida? Disney has no loyalty to the GOP, it’s purely business, and personal if Desantis signs that law stripping them of their bennie. After all, if you can’t get what you want with the current knotheads, then Out with the old, and in with the new! That’s how corporate America thinks.

With this debacle, Pissantis is exposing the problem for the entire GOP writ large. They are so wedded to their culture wars and their idiot base, which isn’t enough to win elections, that they keep stepping on their crank, and offending the very voters they desperately need to come out and vote for them in November. Don’t touch that dial.
