DeSantis’ War With Mickey Mouse Will End His Political Career

By this time everyone knows the “real Ron DeSantis.” He is a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, a sexist, and an idiot. In other words, DeSantis is a fascist.

What Happens When an Insignificant Little Man Challenges the Giant of an Industry

His biggest mistake was going to war with the Disney Corporation. I know from personal experience that they are unbeatable when it comes to legal matters. Although this began after the Governor of Florida began his war on transexuals, his insistence that the fight continues is based on another human emotion which proves that he would fail an IQ test: revenge.

DeSantis has been beaten several times by the entertainment giant, and, like his brother from another mother, he hasn’t learned that failure is inevitable. Meanwhile, he is harming his state and losing additional support from the GOP.

Disney is the largest employer in Central Florida. If he was running for reelection this year, he would surely be defeated. His ego is causing more harm to the Sunshine State than any major hurricane.

DeSantis Is Losing Not Gaining Support

Polls taken related to who will be the Republican nominee for the presidency in 2024 show him losing ground to the worst man in the world, Donald John Trump. Financial support from billionaire donors is in decline, and what popularity he has in his own state is moving away from another Republican failure.

Meanwhile, Disney has announced a “Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite” to celebrate the LGBTQ community. This will happen during June Pride Month. Although DeSantis claims that “he will never allow a ‘woke’ company to run Florida,” his defeats continue.

I find it very humorous that the term “woke” has become a four-letter word for today’s fake Republicans. It literally means doing the right thing when injustice is involved. Of course right wing politicians have refused to do the right thing since 1981.

Abandonment From Within His Own Party

DeSantis is creating more division within his own party. Declaring war on big business is not included in the agenda of the “party of special interests”. Over my lifetime Disney expanded into every area of the entertainment industry. It is a giant that has no equal. For a nobody like DeSantis to believe he could defeat the leader of an entire industry is ludicrous. If he continues his efforts to win battles against the corporation which has become his nemesis, he will fit the anonymous quote which speaks volumes. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Who Will Carry the GOP Standard in 2024?

Now for a prediction. Although I see no individual Republican who is qualified to lead our nation. For decades right wing politicians have proven their inability or interest in governing our nation. Since 1981 every Republican who was allowed to reside in the White House was bailed out by a succeeding Democrat. Clinton repaired the damage caused by the economic policies of Reagan and Bush 41. Obama rescued our nation from the failures of the second worse president in history, George W. Bush. More recently, President Biden is saving America from the destructive and fascist policies of Donald Trump.

The once Grand Old Party has nothing and no one to offer with the experience and ability to govern 331 million people. With our nation becoming more diverse every year, no one on the right side of the aisle is willing to represent 100 percent of all Americans.

Therefore, I do not believe that Trump nor DeSantis will be on the ballot on November 5, 2024. I have no idea who will be the standard bearer after the Republican Convention in 2024, but these two, old, very white men will not be accepting their party’s nomination.
