Fair points in the rest, but come on let's not act like Disney wasn't shoveling propaganda at folks when they made Song of the South, or any of those movies where a girl's dream come true was to marry the first man she saw once she reached the ripe ol' age of 14.  I won't even get into the how conservatives totally whiffed on cancelling Pinocchio for badmouthing cigars and beer.  

I think the anti-woke crowd are lamenting that Disney needs to go back to teaching "wholesome values" not so much saying that Disney should make societally-neutral content which they never have.  Personally, I think Disney really did a lot to make having dead parents seem appealing to kids.  I mean, what percentage of Disney characters have both parents living?  I guess that was the diplomatic way to get out of a marriage or responsibility without sinful divorce or breaking up a traditional family unit.  Disney was the original Forensic Files.

Anywho, the real takeaway from this is that DeSantis just isn't Trump.  Trump would have asked for donations to fight Disney's child-grooming agenda and then pocketed a quarter of a billion bucks and then said he made Disney cry and kiss his ass and that he won, DeSantis actually got into a ridiculous legal battle instead.  Amateur.
