Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake

The Florida Reich, under the leadership of Ron DeSatan, has decided to target Disney because they have decided to stand up to DeSatan and the GQP. As part of this the Reich is moving to eliminate the special improvement district that was put in place in 1967 and gave Disney regulatory control over Disney World and allows Disney to provide government services.

Of course, neither the GQP members of the Florida Legislature or DeSatan stopped long enough to consider the unintended consequences their actions could bring about. Tax experts and Democratic legislators are warning that โ€œFlorida taxpayers could face a $1 billion Disney debt bombโ€ if Disneyโ€™s special status is revoked. In addition to the counties having to provide services that Disney has provided in the past, the tax revenue would largely disappear, leaving taxpayers to make up the difference. And it wouldnโ€™t just be local taxpayers on the hook, but taxpayers throughout the state of Florida given the large bond liabilities Disneyโ€™s special district has now.

This is a classic example of someone cutting off their own nose to spite their face. In other words pursuing a course of revenge that would hurt Florida a lot more than Disney, despite any bullshit DeSatan or his lapdog Randy Fine spout to the contrary. If not for the regular people who will get hurt by this, Iโ€™d tend to follow advise attributed to Napoleon about not interrupting oneโ€™s enemy when making a mistake and say let the Florida GQP find out what messing with The Mouse could cost them: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

This is the fight of our lives. Trump and his unelected henchmen are actively to destroy our government, our democracy, and our way of life. We only have one choice, and that's to fight back as loudly and aggressively as possible.
