A federal judge dismissed Disney’s lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the state’s dismantling of the entertainment giant’s special taxing district.

Judge Allen Winsor of the U.S. District Court for Northern Florida ruled that Disney “lacks standing to sue the governor” and that the law it was suing over was constitutional. He also noted that the changes lawmakers made to Disney’s former special district “works to Disney’s significant detriment” because “now it faces land use decisions by a board over which it has no control.”

DeSantis’s office celebrated the decision.

    This whole thing is so puzzling. What’s the end game?

    DeSantis wins and the oversight board tries to force Disney to be, what, a bastion of anti-gay intolerance?

    Or Disney moves out and Florida loses all the jobs, tourism, and tax revenue. How does that benefit DeSantis and the GOP?

    I just don’t get it.

      Because there is nothing to get.

      The mental decay in the mind of conservatives is not based on reason, but (mostly negative) emotions. Reality is foreign to them, so the framework objective facts misses the point.
