The first one isn’t really the “news.” Well, it’s been in the news for a while, and I’ve gotten used to the headlines. A politician flexing his muscles — not exactly shocking. I didn’t pay much attention until I did. Disney is now suing DeSantis for weaponizing government power.

It’s not that the specific nuances of Disney’s lawsuit caught my attention. But for some reason, I started paying attention to this situation.

No, paying attention is not the right word. I’m realizing how messed up this is.

Imagine being DeSantis’s kid.

Daddy, how’s your work going?

Baby, I’m working hard.

I saw they said something about Disney in the news.

I’m fighting Disney, my dear. But don’t you worry, I will win this war.

Yeah! Are you sure you will beat them? How?

Well, baby, I can build a prison next to the park.

Prison! Do you mean that bad people will live around Disney park, and they will help you win? So you will have an army?
