Deal with it,\u201d has now weighed in on the Florida Parental Rights in Education law and Disney\u2019s opposition to it as well as the right-wing\u2019s efforts to combat the woke agenda adopted by American corporations, declaring, \u201cThe right-wing has finally run amok.\u201d She also called Christopher Rufo, who has been documenting the woke politics inside the Disney empire, a \u201clittle punk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for kids entertainment content.)<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abigaildisney\/status\/1509904775726436356\">long Twitter thread,<\/a> Abigail Disney began by snapping, \u201cLike all radical ideologues, the right wing has finally run amok and is coming to devour the hand that feeds it. Business.\u00a0For my part I am delighted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the business world that has been, either by act or omission, feeding the opportunist right wing to distract,\u201d she stated, \u00a0\u201cus with culture war nonsense while they rifle through the till and empty everyone\u2019s pockets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite a mid-March <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=0000017f-9034-d137-abff-f0f410670000\">Politico\/Morning Consult poll<\/a> showing 50% of respondents supported the banning the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade and 52% supported limiting lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity after third grade to \u201cage appropriate\u201d discussions, Disney claimed that a majority of Americans were not in favor of the \u201c\u2018anti-woke\u2019 right,\u201d, writing, \u201cThis \u2018anti-woke\u2019 right wing nonsense is unsupported by a large majority of Americans. In fact most Americans are offended by it and wish it would just go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using her claim that the anti-woke crowd was in the minority, she continued, \u201cYou need two things to rule with a minority. First, you need to be constantly looking for fresh meat to throw to the minions, to keep them riled up all the time. That works until the herd thins (remember Scar in Lion King?). So now they\u2019ve come for American Businesses.\u201d She continued, \u201cIt was really only a matter of time. But the second thing you need to rule with a minority is money, lots of it. You need the very deep pockets to fund you, yes, and if they don\u2019t, you need them to sit quietly along the sidelines, out of your way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cUntil now, business has been content to do just that. Or they compartmentalized like sociopaths when they funded folks like Dennis Baxley who wrote the hateful Don\u2019t Say Gay bill because as the CEO claimed, he had no way of knowing he might vote for legislation like that. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>She suggested that those on the political Right harbored racism, xenophobia and misogyny and were trying to \u201ctear this country apart,\u201d ranting, \u201cHAH. Or else they have chosen silence. Their silence brought us Donald Trump. Apparently the racism and the xenophobia and the misogyny weren\u2019t deal breakers. Their silence, or at least willingness to compartmentalize when it came to politicians who were willing to fight for their outrageous and multi-decade campaign to stack the deck against the American People brought us this whole raft of Trump wanna-be\u2019s now casting about for new and more insidious ways to tear the country apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Disney claimed that \u201cdecent human beings were being actively harmed by right wing activism,\u201d writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>So now that the right wing and the business agenda\u00a0might actually be showing signs of parting ways, perhaps we might see the powerful lobbies of the various industries wondering which party was truly interested in supporting their interests. Perhaps we will see lobbies lose faith in the devil\u2019s partnership they until now have relied so heavily upon to look after their subsidies, their tax breaks, their flouting of law and regulation. Perhaps the right wing has finally bitten the hand that has been feeding it superfoods these last few decades. This is a monster of corporate America\u2019s creation. Until now they\u2019ve managed to dodge the worst of it by feigning \u201cneutrality\u201d \u2013even when decent human beings were being actively harmed by right wing activism.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She huffed that \u201cauthenticity, generosity, joy and decency\u201d were \u201cthe heart and soul of the Disney brand\u201d even as she called Rufo a \u201clittle punk\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The only thing that will work for business now if they want to emerge in one piece, is to stand tall for authenticity, generosity, joy and decency. These things are cryptonite (sic) for the right wing agenda. So the cure for this isn\u2019t hard. And it also just so happens to be the heart and soul of the Disney brand.\u00a0Disney has everything it needs to fight this threat, if only it will have the courage to weather the slings and arrows and threats and name-calling. If only leadership will check in with first principles. If only they will show us that as a company that trades on American\u00a0Right now, when it matters most of all, they will stand for those values with every fiber of their being. Yeah guys like Rufo can try, but Disney is so much bigger, means so much more to the American people than that little punk can ever hope to mean.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
