Major corporations are going to war with conservatives.
They have chosen to cater to their left-wing audience to the exclusion of everyone else.
Now Disney made one disturbing threat to Ron DeSantis and all parents.
Abigail Disney, great-niece of Walt and granddaughter of co-founder Roy, is furious at conservatives who have called out the company for going full “woke” on LGBT issues.
The controversy began when Florida governor Ron DeSantis endorsed the Parental Rights in Education bill, which was slandered by the left as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Far-left activists inside Disney bullied CEO Bob Chapek to put pressure on DeSantis to reconsider the bill, but the governor held firm.
After DeSantis signed the bill into law, activists at Disney essentially admitted during a company virtual town hall that they were going to redouble their efforts in indoctrinating kids.
Chris Rufo—journalist for the Manhattan Institute who has been at the forefront of exposing neo-Marxist philosophies that have seeped into education, government, and corporate America—leaked the town hall footage.
That prompted Abigail Disney to say that right-wingers are now devouring business, much to her delight.
THREAD/ Like all radical ideologues, the right wing has finally run amok and is coming to devour the hand that feeds it. Business. For my part I am delighted. It is the business world that has been, either by act or omission, feeding the opportunist right wing to distract 1/ pic.twitter.com/7okhzmFII0

Unfortunately for Abigail Disney, her analysis is backward.
Radical leftists like herself are slaying the goose the laid the golden egg, i.e. business, in favor of activism.
They had decided to antagonize half the country by pushing a far-left agenda on the American people, and they’re sick of it.
In her lengthy Twitter thread, she added:
It was really only a matter of time. But the second thing you need to rule with a minority is money, lots of it. You need the very deep pockets to fund you, yes, and if they don't, you need them to sit quietly along the sidelines, out of your way. 4/

Again, she’s out of touch with reality.
The majority of Americans do not support teaching kids in K-3 about sexual orientation and gender identity.
In fact, a majority of Democrats don’t even support it in Florida.
From The Wall Street Journal:
“Even more notable is the breadth of that sentiment. Democratic voters in the poll support the law 55 percent to 29 percent. Among suburban voters, which could be a decisive group for the midterm elections, it’s 60 percent to 30 percent. Parents: 67 percent to 24 percent. Biden voters: 53 percent to 30 percent. Respondents who “know someone LGBTQ”: 61 percent to 28 percent.”
Progressives are so deep in their echo chambers, they have no idea how unpopular they are.
