Even if desantis isn’t the cause of losing 2000 jobs and billions in investment. Is it pro business republicanism to create a feud with your largest employer and economic engine and make doing business in your state hell if you dare speak against their opinion. If republicans can’t run on being pro business what are they going to run on? Attacking trans people? Being anti-woke. That’s cute until you have to win something outside of a primary.

my only foray into "woke" is the whole white shaming that has been going on.
But the term "woke" was coined by the Left; they're the ones on the attack saying people are not "woke,' not the other way around.
If anyone on the right brings up the term, it is just in response to what's been thrown their way in society the past few years.
My knowledge of the term woke comes from the black community that used the term as a joke towards people who were performative in their activism. I don’t think that’s how conservatives use it. It’s definitely not how desantis uses it, and the way he otherises people isn’t safe or healthy for the political climate of Florida or the country in general. That’s the last I’ll touch on it, online debates don’t interest me especially on a city forum.

Welcome, my friend.
I see that you are new to posting here; maybe you're a longstanding visitor. Welcome regardless.
My personal and business ties to the gay community are longstanding, but I've beaten a dead horse on all this DeSantis/ Disney stuff.
What I find more intriguing is what concessions has the gay community had to make to wokeism?
My account is new, but I’ve visited this forum since sunrail was a proposal. In terms of wokeism I have never been given a legitimate answer on what that even is. From what I’ve heard many people say the lgtbq+ community specifically now the trans community which deserve all the respect many claim the gay community does is inherently woke. Woke to me just sounds like an easy catchphrase to deny someone who is fighting for their rights.

Well, DeSantis exposed something nefarious that's been going on in schools for a while and acted on it. And you really do not understand parenting much.
That's the thing with Liberals. You keep pushing and pushing. but when someone pushes back, you scream bloody murder as if you were in the right to begin with, when you actually weren't.
BTW, Disney's plans were to simply move 2,000 or so jobs from CA to Orlando; they weren't going to create any new jobs; rather, they were simply making a business decision because of CA's high taxes that benefited them.
Also, with regard to your comment about 'the areas most affected are lest likely to vote for him'...you're right; Orange went blue. But Miami-Dade, PB County, Duval, Pinellas, Hillsborough (the major counties) all went Red, as did the rest of the counties except for maybe three others... FYI.
Idk not really doing a great job creating a welcoming space by demonizing us as groomers. Florida turned red but it’s not as simple as desantis attacked the “woke”. It’s a super complicated conversation that involves things like party apathy and voter apathy but I will say I am definitely glad I live in the blue island of orange where my representatives actually represent me. Like where’s the endgame for this woke stuff? How many concessions do communities like mine have to make for y’all to be satisfied?

If you don’t understand why our bandshell has rainbow colors or take offense as to why it does then maybe Orlando isn’t the community for you.
