Right on target, again. My response to the pearl clutching of the progressives is: Really? I thought your fierce opposition to the "Citizens' United" centered around the fact that calling corporations individuals for campaign donation purposes allowed them to "interfere" with elections, thus subverting the will of the American voter. Yet here DeSantis deals directly with a wealthy and powerful corporation that chose to insinuate itself into state politics, as Disney was working to defeat a law enacted by duly elected representatives of Florida, and now suddenly it's wrong to "punish" them? DeSantis is saying, if you want to get out of your lane and jump into the political fray, then you might get hurt some. Something roughly similar happened in WI, when the teachers unions went all in to defeat, and then recall, Gov. Scott Walker. After he won, twice, he took away the power of state and county workers to form unions to negotiate wages, because they were giving all their contributions from union dues to Democrat politicians.

Nice piece. Something new that I haven’t read anywhere else. I’ll be keeping that astute analogy about the two dates in mind.
