[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DeSantis and his GOP cronies are just trying to normalize authoritarianism so when they bring it to the entire country it won't seem so radical.

Just as a reminder, the government in a functioning Constitutional democracy is not allowed to punish corporations for their exercise of free speech. And there are 2 types of free speech that Disney is being punished for - the LGTBQ content of their products AND their campaign contributions, which the Supreme Court has held are Constitutionally protected free speech.

This is what fascists do - they punish corporations which do not support "the state."

Is this a serious question? [i]Of course[/i] this is what they want for our country. It's never been about free speech. It's about them wanting to say whatever they want without repercussions. It's never been about the free market. It's about favoring companies that align with their narrow parochial interests. It's never been about the Constitution. It's about the 2nd Amendment and then their partisan interpretation of the rest of it. It's never been about freedom. It's about them imposing their cultural values on the rest of us.[/quote]
