If Disney wants to be accepting of LGBTQ folks, it is very un-Republican of DeSantis to impose his will on the company (as many Republicans have criticized him for). To my knowledge, they didn't "throw their weight around". Speaking an opinion is different than funding an opponent. Disney was just protecting their corporate image (i.e. everyone is welcome). When DeSantis started to bully them, they shelved some expansion plans. DeSantis cost FL thousands of jobs just because he can't tolerate dissent.
Disney thought they would put pressure on the state to not pass laws limiting sexually explicit content in classrooms for little kids (which is what the misnamed by the media "Don't say gay" bill was really about). The law had zero to do with Disney's business.
The expansion plans were already slated to be cut as a money-saving measure. Nothing to do with DeSantis.
The point is that you didn't used to be able to run for one office while holding another. I think every state should have that. FL did, but DeSantis decided he didn't like it because then he'd have to really commit to one or the other.
Seems like he's committed to running for President, as he should.
IMHO, he was just responding to your "awesome" comment with several "awesome" things DeSantis has done, or was responsible for. But, yeah, strictly speaking neither you nor he was "on-topic" about debates and issues.
We can agree to disagree there.
