I have read a lot of the recent posts on this thread, but not all of them, so apologies if I'm covering ground that was already covered.
Look, I am a conservative Republican. I like DeSantis and generally approve of his time as governor of Florida. But he was going to end up losing this battle and he knows it. He openly stated that he was punishing Disney for their political speech. And thanks to the questionable actions of some on "my side" of the aisle, the Supreme Court has long ago established that corporations are people too for the purpose of the law. So he was clearly running afoul of the First Amendment. He would have eventually been smacked down by one court or another.
But he was running for president. And he know that he could make political hay from this and that it wouldn't wend its way through the courts in time to negatively affect his campaign. That campaign is over now, so he's safe to kiss and make up with Disney, which was always going to happen.
For Disney's part, even though they're well within their rights to express whatever opinions they want, I think Chapek handled the situation horribly from beginning to end, which was part of why he ended up being shown the door. Disney has the right to express their opinions, but many people are tired of being smacked over the head with in-your-face messaging as part of their entertainment. And Iger came in wanting to clean this mess up from the beginning and this was his opportunity to do so.
So, bottom line, Disney did some dumb things, DeSantis did some dumber (and unconstitutional) things, and just as everybody knew would happen, in time the two sides are going to come back together and continue to do business in Florida.
For my part, I'm going to keep going to Walt Disney World and enjoying it. If I boycotted every company that said or did something I disagreed with, I'd have to move to a cabin in the mountains and grow my own food.
