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.

standard fascist playbook

[-] urfavlaura@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

He really wants to turn it into Nazi Germany too.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

I’m really hoping that Disney does something fantastic at Epcot Mexico as a response to this.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Sure, the corporations will save us. Btw have you seen the new Disney planned communities?

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, until Robert bin Iger flips and turns the Mousekedeen into the Tinkerban.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

They’ll turn on you, on a dime.

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Sure, but until then, who can fight him more effectively?

[-] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

You can enjoy the fact that Disney is fucking with DE Santis without "siding" with them in any meaningful way

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

And I do. But that is a dual edged sword, and I’m not kidding myself.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I don't usually side with corporations, but when I do, it's because they are at war with Ron desantis

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I know. It’s just sad that this is a “best” hope.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's pretty dystopian and sad for sure

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. Let’s see how it plays out.

I did k-12 in Celebration, are they really trying that Stepfordian experiment again?

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] HuddaBudda@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

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..... :(

[-] LoopingRiver@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Can we turn the border with Florida into the East German wall instead?

[-] ClaireDeLuna@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Please no I am trying to leave

Sacrifices must be made for the greater good. I'm sorry.

[-] kingthrillgore@kbin.social -3 points 1 year ago

Cobrastan is not a country let alone a state, Jorji

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe we can borrow some mines from Russia

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

c/theonion

Wait... this is a real article? Wtf

Nice of DeSantis to build Mexico an Anti-Fascist Protection Barrier to protect them from America

[-] derbolle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The title reads like he invented one hell of a teleportation spell

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Wingardium Levi- AVADA KEDAVRA!

[-] ebenixo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Hang ten in East Berlin

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

[-] aksdb@feddit.de -1 points 1 year ago
