Disney Blinks, DeSantis Snags First Huge Win of 2024 Campaign

Donald Trump didn’t win the White House based solely on his policies. Sure, conservatives rallied around Trump’s border wall agenda, tax cuts and pro-Israel stance. Many also cheered his presence in the political arena, an orange bull in the Beltway China shop. Trump donned his armor, forged in both reality show skirmishes and real estate wars, and plunged into the Culture Wars. His rhetoric alone pummeled anyone demanding more genteel conversations. He also railed against protesters tearing down statues, a core part of recent Culture War skirmishes. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took some notes during Trump’s tenure, apparently.
