the guy is unraveling, every public appearance his tone and verbage become more desperate as journalists pick apart his garbage. but you know what he won't consider? stopping, going home and maybe focusing on his own life instead of worrying about how he can manipulate all of ours.
His wife won't let him https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/05/19/casey-ron-desantis-wife-profile-00097456
standard fascist playbook
He really wants to turn it into Nazi Germany too.
I’m really hoping that Disney does something fantastic at Epcot Mexico as a response to this.
Sure, the corporations will save us. Btw have you seen the new Disney planned communities?
No, and I’m not holding Disney up on a pedestal by any means, but they seem to be the only ones who can really speak up to Ron’s rhetoric and actions and have a meaningful impact (like the monorail thing).
The enemy of my enemy and such.
Sure, until Robert bin Iger flips and turns the Mousekedeen into the Tinkerban.
I don’t think he will (waaayyyyy too much IP & $$$ on the line, plus the cost of basically rebranding a fuck ton of shit from rides to merch to movies/TV), but if he does, he can go stand by one of those Disney lakes with the gators and cry about his dwindling million dollar bonuses.
The board and investors would be pissed off too because their wallets depend on him making good decisions.
They’ll turn on you, on a dime.
For a dime*
Fair.
Sure, but until then, who can fight him more effectively?
You can enjoy the fact that Disney is fucking with DE Santis without "siding" with them in any meaningful way
And I do. But that is a dual edged sword, and I’m not kidding myself.
I don't usually side with corporations, but when I do, it's because they are at war with Ron desantis
I know. It’s just sad that this is a “best” hope.
Yeah it's pretty dystopian and sad for sure
Yep. Let’s see how it plays out.
I did k-12 in Celebration, are they really trying that Stepfordian experiment again?
Yes they are. Apologies for the crap source but a quick search will pull up the medium of your choice: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/disney-storyliving-communities/index.html
Who's going to shoot them? DeSantis with his pudding fingers?
Because even the police didn't like the barbed wire in the river.
And they already have guns.... so.... what? We force them to use them? Maybe we can put bounties on kills! The ones that are pregnant or below the age of 6 would be worth double points! Let's abandon reasonable evil ,lets just go full blow blown psychological evil. /s
All because someone is a different shade of skin..... :(
Can we turn the border with Florida into the East German wall instead?
Please no I am trying to leave
papers please.
😔
Sacrifices must be made for the greater good. I'm sorry.
Cobrastan is not a country let alone a state, Jorji
Maybe we can borrow some mines from Russia

Wait... this is a real article? Wtf
Nice of DeSantis to build Mexico an Anti-Fascist Protection Barrier to protect them from America
The title reads like he invented one hell of a teleportation spell
Wingardium Levi- AVADA KEDAVRA!

He sells it to the soviets?
