Trump clone DeSantis trolls Disney with tolls. BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Plans to Toll Guest Roads & Raise Hotel Taxes at Walt Disney World as Punishment for Reedy Creek Agreement - WDW News Today
DeSantis is furious over the maneuver of the exiting board at Disney to snookered his desired takeover of Disney on the way out. There was a time when the GOP promoted lower taxes and a hands-off approach to businesses, especially local ones. Culture wars over events like drag shows now override what little scraps of rational thinking remained.
During his reelection campaign in 1992 (that failed after the LA riots that he tried to marginalize as supposedly done only by hoodlums youths), Bush Sr. and Quayle tried to make a big stink about family values. Someone sent his VP, Dan Quayle, out on a mission to disparage the TV show Murphy Brown because it supposedly promoted having children out of wedlock. Quayle was all worked up over the show Murphy Brown and even blamed it for unrest while giving a formal speech after the LA riots. Comedian Johnny Carson said that Quayle also made profound statements that Wile E. Coyote couldn't have possibly swallowed all of that dynamite and lived. Today, the issue for many in the GOP is drag queen shows. That Time ‘Murphy Brown’ and Dan Quayle Topped the Front Page (Published 2018)
Oh, Disney will have the last word on things...like this shot over the bow with their recent layoffs.

Wasilla, Alaska. Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla and governor of Alaska. She was the VP on McCain's presidential ticket in 2008. After the failed 2008 election, she returned to her governorship but resigned before her term ended. She ran for a seat in the U.S. Congress in 2022 and lost. She was endorsed by Trump. Palin's brand of politics has been described as a forerunner to Trump era politics.
Palin is the type of politician Trump likes to endorse. It's part of why the GOP lost various higher level positions (U.S. House and Senate seats, governorship, secretary of state) in the 2022 midterms that they could have won had higher quality candidates been endorsed by Trump. Remember When Sarah Palin Suddenly Stepped Down as Governor of Alaska? The Voters Will.
