Subject: Re: GOP Primaries : Policy Debates Permanently Axed_QM
I think I linked this before. But here it is again. I'm not engrossed in FL politics, so freely admit there could be gaps in my knowledge. albaby would be more authoritative since this is his backyard. However, several Republicans have been having problems with how DeSantis is handling the Disney situation. This is a little old, but he just keeps doubling-down. I think albaby commented that he can't back down at this point, but it is sort of a lose-lose situation he's managed to get into.

"I don't like what Disney said about the legislation that I would have supported in Florida, but it's not the role of government to punish a business when you disagree with what they're saying or a position that they take," Hutchinson said Sunday. "If that was the view of a Republican, then we're going to be in all kinds of trouble in our businesses in blue states if they start punishing businesses for taking a more conservative speech or position. I don't understand a conservative punishing a business that's the largest employer in the state."

A number of other more traditional conservatives have taken a similar position to Hutchinson, with some urging DeSantis to end his feud with Disney.

By the way, the FL law apparently applies all the way to 12th grade. Not just "little kids". It also appears to be addressing a non-existent problem. "Sexually explicit" material? Really? That's a problem? It was mostly targeted to discussions about gender, which is why it received its nickname (rightly or wrongly).
