Florida Lt Gov Goes Full Facist On Disney For Supporting LGBTQ+ Kids
Florida's GOP will not stand for dissent! Goebbels would be proud.

Disney has paused all political donations in Florida after the state approved a viciously homophobic bill that uses teachers and schools to attack the LGBTQ+ community, using children as its cudgel.

Nunez attacked companies critical of the "Don't Say Gay" bill as being run by "feckless CEOs of these 'woke' corporations....They will criticize our legislation. They will try to bully us like the NCAA did, like Disney's doing."

That's when her inner fascist took over.

"How dare they! They have no right to criticize legislation by duly elected legislators that are passing common sense legislation to criticize and to threaten," Nunez said.

In America, people have a right to redress their government, but apparently in Florida you have no rights at all to even speak out or comment on disagreements with the ruling body. If a person, a group, or a company has a differing opinion from Gov. DeSantis and his administration, you either go along or shut up. Otherwise, they will seek vengeance against you.

"Gov. DeSantis and I won't stand for it. We're proud and in the free state of Florida we put parents and their rights first." Nunes whined.

Does Lt. Gov. Nunez not have faintest clue what's in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights?

This is the new game Republicans are playing to rile up the religious right/former soccer mom voting block, ie: parents of young children. Get them outraged over a nonexistent "indoctrination," so they will hate any Democratic initiative, politician, or public school teacher.

They create outrage over something that is not even happening, like when they lied about CRT being taught in elementary school. Now they're claiming teachers groom first-graders to change their sexual identity as an excuse to pass creepy legislation to outlaw this nonexistent behavior, and then claim it's just a common sense measure that protects the innocence of children and supports parental rights.

Goebbels would be proud.

1. Businesses are going to think twice about Florida . . ....

[samsingh]

2. Disney should pull out of Florida.

[BlackSkimmer]

8. Lol, I don't think that's happening.

Ever.

[exboyfil]

9. Or give boatloads of cash to those who fight these fascists

[samsingh]

3. Consider this. These Florida repug traitors are willing to go fascist on a powerful corporation

like Disney. Imagine what they are doing to the common people they don't like.

[PortTack]

12. This!

[PatSeg]

4. "How dare any business quit giving us political donations!"

So now in Florida it is not voluntary to contribute to political campaigns, it is compulsory? Once again, republicans sound like mob bosses. "Nice business you have there, wud be a shame if somethin' happened to it."

10. These politicians always start to squirm when it comes to their cash flow.. fuckers...

I remember seeing an interview with a few politicians and they said the hardest part of being a congress person was the fund raising, NOT doing their job. Half of this guys time was fundraising..
No wonder why these repukkes take money from "outside sources"....... ahh like Russia.
Look at the guys/gals praising russia and you will see a campaign flush with cash.. And we know the KGB/FSB don't do nothing for nothing...Payback is a bitch...
YMMV

11. "Payback is a bitch"

These often naïve politicians don't realize that when they take money from Russia, there is no turning back. You are owned.

The constant fundraising has gotten ridiculous. They get elected to serve their constituents, but in order to survive they have to spend as you said, half or more of their time raising campaign cash. It is a terrible system and produces very ineffective governing.

[mitch96]

16. "when they take money from Russia, there is no turning back". Its like dealing with the Mafia..

Once they own you, they own you and will suck you dry and then move on...
I don't know why but this song comes to mind..

[PatSeg]

17. Yes, Putin is not a president, he is a mob boss

History is full of them. When he is gone, there will be others to take his place as long as people don't have the will to resist and condemn them. They don't materialize from nothing, they are a symptom of an apathetic, indifferent society. The "Never Again" declaration tends to fade after two or three generations and the whole cycle starts all over again.

That song is perfect.

5. I suppose we will start hearing more from this guy since Desantis obviously has higher aspirations.

He will be trying to build name recognition amongst the doperetariot.

[Biophilic]

6. My only hope is that they will become so atrocious that people in this state will finally

wake up and realize that their very rights as human beings are being seriously threatened. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can't happen under a fascists regime.

[Chainfire]

7. She sounds like an ideal Republican candidate for the Supreme Court.

Other than that being a woman thing...

[Volaris]

13. If DeDantis and his crew want a war with The Mouse, well...

My money's on The Mouse lol. DeSantis ain't seen nasty; the mouse dont play.

[In It to Win It]

14. "have no right to criticize legislation"?????

[JCMach1]

15. First rule of Florida, don't f#$k with the Mouse, EVER

Seriously, there is the MAFIA then the Mouse. Even the Mafia doesnt mess to with the Mouse.

[Baked Potato]

18. Last two paragraphs are exactly what they are doing.

That playbook is being used all across the spectrum.

I wish Democrats could counter the tactic, but it is understandingly hard to corral all the emotions and let their BS “rile ups” fizzle out.

Thanks for the post.
