CO Gov. Jared Polis To Disney-MOVE HERE!
Colorado Gov. Polis is inviting Disney to relocate to Florida to avoid ‘socialist meddling’ in Florida. (Raw Story)
“‘Republicans in Florida have been threatening this action for days in retaliation for Disney’s criticism of the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law, and subsequent decision to suspend political contributions in the state.
But DeSantis didn’t stop there. He also took a shot at Twitter for adopting a shareholder “poison pill” plan to prevent tech billionaire Elon Musk, increasingly a hero of the far right for his stance on social media content moderation, from launching a hostile takeover of the company.
And he vowed to “look at ways” to hold Twitter’s board of directors “accountable” — an unclear threat, given Twitter is not headquartered in Florida.’
In reaction to all of this, Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) stepped in — and invited both Disney and Twitter to set up shop in his own state, free of political interference from Republicans.
”
Walt Disney finds itself in a simmering culture war with a right wing Republican who is up for re-election and actively courting the fringes of his party. Disney, headquartered thousands of miles away from Florida and on another planet politically, is wedged between right wing activists and its welcoming LGBT+ corporate culture. The culture wars never really went away and with American divisiveness at an all time high, they are rearing their ugly head once again.
