He isn't stupid. He just acts stupid. That's the problem.both quite stupid, not a liability with their bases.

I seriously doubt it would stand up in court. But part of me says fuck'em. They have given a shit ton of money to Florida Republicans including DeSantis. You'd think people would learn that mob bosses and fascists have no real friends, and will turn on you the second you are no longer useful to them.if the state does vote to remove/change the special district then Disney should close shop and layoff all their employees, at least temporarily.
Is he going up against Trump in 2024? That would be epic, but don't think he would win.DeSantis only cares about one thing - maximum red meat for culture war conservatives to win the 2024 Republican primary. Conservative principles, internal consistency, his own personal dignity, the welfare of his state, all secondary.
I don’t know what he would do if Trump seriously runs in 2024 but he’s clearly there to take up the mantle if he doesn’t.Is he going up against Trump in 2024? That would be epic, but don't think he would win.

Looks like he is moving on the Disney thing now with a special legislative session. He also rejected the redistricting that the legislature did, so he did his own. The redistricting, the Disney Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Twitter items will all be in that special session. Should be fun May as the start of hurricane season takes on new meaning.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushes to end Disney's self-government

They will be bailed out by more sane states (or Feds), but will still blame their usual boogeymen.The right is replete with ambitious graspers who are willing to demagogue on absolutely anything if they think it will advance them.
This eventually will have consequences for the people of those states but they get what they voted for.

They will call teachers lazy and further demonize them and teacher unions. They will backfill these positions with unqualified people and then opt out of testing to hide their poor performance.Not sure the Feds can help much with stuff like teachers won't take jobs in your state because they don't want to be sued into oblivion by insane residents.

Read earlier this morning that if FL does manage to shut down the Reedy Creek District (Disney's municipality) then they're on the hook for $1B+ in debt as a result. So, not only would they pick a fight with a huge economic force in the state, but they'd also saddle the taxpayers with that debt. Solid fucking strategy guys. Really.

Not only would they take on the debt but the tax payers would be responsible for everything that Disney has been paying for. Roads, infrastructure, police, fire, etc.
Disney, Twitter, Elon, gays, transgenders, math, masks, vaccines....
Is there anything Ron Quixote won't try and fight?

And Disney will instantly negotiate tax breaks from whatever jurisdiction they are put into. So the citizens of that city would end up paying for Disney's infrastructure. Where today, Disney basically taxes themselves/customers to pay for their own infrastructure.Read earlier this morning that if FL does manage to shut down the Reedy Creek District (Disney's municipality) then they're on the hook for $1B+ in debt as a result.

He's worse than Trump, because he is competent.
He's "accomplished" more in the last year, than Trump did in 4.I agree but it's hard to tell whether that makes him worse.
Sure but most parents are still going to get pissed when things start falling apart. Fucking with the schools too much is risky.
IANAL but things like this seem to undermine the legal case as if you're saying 'our purpose here is to punish Disney' isn't that a bill of attainder?Seems like an opportune time to build a 3rd US park somewhere a little more hospitable.
