    Nobody (including DeSantis) ever made any claim of changing Disneys wokeness.

    It was never intended to change Disneys wokeness. It was intended to let Disney know, if they want to stick their woke theme park nose into Florida voters and legislative business, then they can be the same as every other Florida business who doesn't have Disney exception privileges.

    Again, nothing is intended to get Disney to change their new found wokeness.
    Its intended to show Disney they don't run Florida and they don't have any right to try and repeal laws voted on and legislated so Disney can extend its wokeness to 5 year olds.[/QUOTE]

    I don't care what you accept. Proving anything to you is a absolutely zero value to me.

    So, in other words, it was using the power of government to punish someone for saying something Ron DumDum didn't like.

    You really need to tell Jim Jordan about this, this is the kind of stuff his Congressional Committee is investigating.

    Those two statements do not contradict one another

    So now you're the magical gender dysphoria expert? :roflol:
    Gender Dysphoria is a clinical diagnoses for a mental disorder.
    supported by the following
    • A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics
    • A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics because of a marked incongruence with one’s experienced/expressed gender
    • A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender
    • A strong desire to be of the other gender
    • A strong desire to be treated as the other gender
    • A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender
    So yeah, sorry you don't like its clinical definition.

    I haven’t seen the report showing that Obama ordered it — if he did it will lower my opinion of him and I will still denounce it as I have already done.

    You are not denouncing weaponization of the state however — that was the point.

    I think you don't see what you don't want to see. You want to believe Obama is your Messiah so he can do the wrong.
    No I'm denouncing weaponizing the states against the people. Weaponizing the State against the state or corporations I don't care about.

    How would that be possible as free speech violations can only be committed by the government

    You are entitled to your own opinion

    So you don’t care if government targets and attacks businesses that speak out against them?

    Fascinating

    Worse than that Disney promotes mediocrity and failure.

    Individual and businesses are not bound by the constitutional requirement of free speech.

    I apologize for thinking that was a common understanding

    you're entitled to your own religion.
    the government was targeting and attacking a government. Disney was a special district meeting it was a government. As far as I know he's not finding them he's just attacking the government components.
    What's fascinating is you think all businesses just have their own special district and that that's just part of business

    Only if you don't know that gender dysphoria is a mental disorder clinically confirmed.

    The constitution also mentions that, correct

    They were penalized for their speech by the state revoking the district but that isn’t what this thread is about.

    This thread is about him threatening Disney with toll roads and new taxes on their hotels. Are those “government components”?

    Strawman fallacy. I understand and agree that all business should be treated equally but Reedy Creek was revoked due to speech, can you admit that had Disney not made a statement that the governor wouldn’t have attempted to punish them?

    The reasoning is the issue

    Indeed, I am learning what type of individuals are debating for this.

    Feel free to read up on freedom of speech per the constitution and let me know when you want to continue.

    You need to learn the meaning of "promote" and then why it does not apply to an illness.

    worship whatever Messiah you want.
    meaning the government of their special district not the company. That's the price you pay for being part of the government.

    The government doesn't have rights over the people that's not how it works.
    no it's threatening removal of exemption it should have never been exempted the first place.
    so then you'd have to agree Disney should have never had their own special district into solving it is a move toward equality.
    this isn't a citizen it's a government governments do not have the right to free speech.
    the reasoning is Disney's government was trying to interfere with the people. The punishment the receiving is absolutely acceptable.

    Is she counter lucky stars people aren't being put in prison.
