The only one that should have “interviewed” her would be Jon Stewart. He will call them out on their bullshit.

Seriously underrated post. This is not about “unchecked corporate power,” it simply maintains a land-use scheme that has been in place for over 50 years and has worked well for both sides — Disney and the public alike — for that entire time. This just means the wife of the state party chair, and a pastor who thinks…

Nah, it's in North Haverbrook

The reality of the Reedy Creek Improvement District was that it gave Disney the rights to avoid the permitting process for renovations and new construction, avoid having to bid out projects to justify costs, and they retained the local portion of sales, property, and hotel occupancy taxes, which were almost entirely…

We aren’t calling banning books in schools fascistic, we are calling the way, reasoning and scope with which its done in this case, along with the sheer volume and what topics and people it targets fascistic

Oh, and it should be noted that fascists use safety and anti-corruption as their covers for garnering power or removing people. Hitler used both concepts to go after the Jews and others.  Fascism can be tricky, slippery.

But isn’t what defines facism the violent suppression of opposition?

And Ron could turn to violence later. Don did, and Ron is emulating him.

So like weak fascism? Pathetic fascism?

Well what do you call it when he’s banning books, and trying to coerce what businesses do? And more.

DeSantis is stupid enough to kill the golden goose, but the goose outsmarted him. Not a fan of Disney’s practices, and almost unchecked power, but Ron is doing stupid stunts to emulate Don and that is a problem. Banning books, classes, medicine, trying to coerce businesses. Bumbling authoritarian shit.

DeSantis: “In your face Disney! You can’t stop my audacious takeover!”

You need to look deeper into things that DeSantis has actually done and you’ll realize he’s an actual fascist. He unconstitutionally fired a duly elected state attorney, personally redistricted the state (again, unconstitutionally), gutted a liberal arts college because it was a liberal arts college and forced in far…

I hardly see them taking even greater control of a very large section of land as a win.

There’s a reason why attempting a crime can still get you charged with that crime.  Intent matters.  Just because they failed doesn’t mean their beliefs and actions aren’t aligned with fascism. It just means they suck at it.

An attempt was made. A failed fascist policy is still a fascist policy.

George Bush appointed Alito and Roberts, and his dad appointed Thomas, so I wouldn't exactly say his hands are clean. 

1. This is the goverment running a private business’ land for them.

2. They were talking about ‘changing the programming’ that disney aired. So they thought they were getting 100% control of the company.

3. They already had that control for decades, they were being punished for speaking against a discriminatory law.

Michelle Obama and George Bush didn’t strip the U.S. of Roe v Wade or hundreds of thousands of live due to covid, or anything else that’s the direct result of that orange fuckwit. So yes, that’s my mentality. And go fuck yourself.

Your two sides are a hellishly dystopian mega corporation, or literally the fourth reich. Nazis are always the worst person(s) in the room.
