This makes zero sense to reverse course like this , and hopefully DeSantis vetoes a repeal

No it makes perfect sense OSR. This was a stunt all along, and what your party really wants is $$$ first, keeping big business satisfied second. All the railing against Disney was performative as much as Disney's own "wokeness" is. The fact is Florida and Disney have had a perfectly lucrative arrangement for decades and it was never in either side's best interest to break it.

Well if DeSantis wants to be a transformative leader he’s probably gonna have to fight Kevin McCarthy and a Republican congress to ensure his hypothetical first year of his presidency doesn’t go like Trump 17 which saw much of the agenda he ran on shelved to pursue the congressional GOP agenda .

While I support the tax reform of 17 , we don’t need any new major tax cuts and we need someone who would actually reduce the power of DC bureaucracy and you would have to fight the Congressional party to do that .

DeSantis going against Disney was an indication that he would be willing to take on powerful interests to actually be successful in passing a conservative agenda .

Well if DeSantis wants to be a transformative leader ...

The last time I heard "transformative leader" from Republicans, was with trump.
And instead we got an Orange Clown.
DeSantis could follow in the same clown-size shoe, footsteps.

Well there also is another Republican President who actually was a transformative president and the question is can a modern Republican be as transformative as Ronald Reagan was. Well Reagan did fight the existing party orthodoxy of the day and was able to change it and now the question is will DeSantis fight people like McCarthy, and legislative leaders of his party who want to prevent change as well.


We will see about that

The last statement is true if and only if the conservative agenda is "own the libs".

It’s fundamentally not conservative for the government to give any one mega corporation special privileges like this .

At first I thought OSR comparing DeSantis to Reagan was ridiculous but then the more I thought about it comparing the “Don’t say gay” guy to the guy who deliberately let AIDS kill millions in the gay community might not be unfair

Reagan didn’t react any different to AIDS then the vast majority of politicians would have at the time and his actions in defeating the Briggs Amendment in California (which no Harry isn’t the same as the Florida bill ) shows he was a moderate on the issue for the time .

Also given how the vast majority of Republican governors reacted to COVID you can’t really describe Reagan’s AIDS’s response as that

The very essence of modern American conservatism, dating back to at least Richard Nixon, is precisely to give special tax privileges and breaks to enormous multinational corporations and to the wealthy, while using social issues as a tool to manipulate unperceptive white voters into lending their votes to that enterprise, because since giving special tax privileges to enormous multinational corporations is not popular, they have to do something else in addition to have some shot at maintaining electoral viability.

And that is precisely, absolutely, and categorically what this is, down to the T.

You literally could not come up with a more textbook example of modern American conservatism than this even if you had a corporate research and development lab with billions of dollars of funding dedicated to coming up with the best possible most archetypally paradigmatic examples of the essence of modern American conservatism.

Not really, the 1986 Tax Reform got rid of a lot of loopholes the wealthy and corporations used at the time as well as raised the capital gains tax rate. That is the most influential tax bill in modern history and even the 2017 bill got rid of some loopholes the rich use and if Paul Ryan had his way we would have had a Border Adjustment Tax added in it too.

Sadly Trump and many tea party types in the house opposed the Border Adjustment Tax so it didnt pass.
