        It’s both. Disney is a strong brand and going after it feels like an attack to people with strong positive associations. DeSantis lost the Disney adult vote and that’s got to be whole portions of a percent of his base.

        but not because people like these companies

        idk if it’s a general trend, or just in my family - but all my hyper-conservative relatives are all huge Disney fanatics - I’m talking trips to the parks multiple times a year, Disney Cruises at least once a year, all the merch, movies, etc. Sure they whine about how “woke” the movies have gotten, but they still fucking love that damn mouse

      Nah, the “anti-woke” crowd is already going after Chick Fil A. They dared to have a DEI position. The horror!
