It is not in fact "populist" to terrorize a private company for speaking out against a law, it's fascist. Both of them are terrible, but I think Trump is dumber and more unpredictable while DeSantis is crueler.
It’s not fascist to take away the special privileges Disney enjoyed for decades and stop them from trying to find loopholes to keep it . Having special privileges by definition is not the free market and they absolutely should be stripped of them .
It’s literally what they’re doing though, attacking them for protected free speech. Government retaliation is illegal, but I don’t think Republicans care. They had no intention of doing this until they hurt Red Tide Ron’s feelings in his safe space of Florida.
