Is DeSantis' Feud with Disney Costing Him Support?

Residents in Celebration, Florida are growing increasingly concerned with the ongoing dispute between Governor Ron DeSantis and Walt Disney Co. over the Parental Rights in Education Act, otherwise known as the "don't say gay" bill. The idyllic community, constructed by Disney in the early 1990s, is feeling the direct impact of the political battle between the two entities. Residents who had previously supported DeSantis' policies during the pandemic and recovery efforts after Hurricane Ian are now skeptical of his leadership abilities. The Governor has been accused of "picking a fight" with Disney and putting the interests of the state at risk. Individuals from surrounding towns and even out-of-state have begun to contact Celebration residents, raising concerns regarding the Governor's handling of other state affairs. The town of Celebration was built with the intent of offering residents a magical lifestyle comparable to Disney World. The ongoing turmoil is being met with growing concern, with residents deriding the Governor's actions and questioning his motives, causing many to lose their support for him.
