“Disney is so much bigger, means so much more to the American people than that little punk can ever hope to mean.”

In a Twitter thread posted on Friday, Disney heiress Abigail Disney went on an online tirade blasting those pushing back against Disney and other woke businesses that have come out in opposition to Florida's anti-grooming bill.
Disney is the granddaughter of Roy O. Disney, who co-founded The Walt Disney Company alongside famed Walt Disney. According to Business Insider, the wealthy Disney heiress has an eye-popping net worth of $120 million.

Disney continued on to claim that "this 'anti-woke' right wing nonsense is unsupported by a large majority of Americans."
In the case of Disney and Florida's anti-grooming bill, officially called the "Parents Rights in Education" bill, current Walt Disney Company employee Jose Castillo has claimed that a "silent majority" of the company's employees actually support the legislation.
In regards to the nation, a survey conducted by the Public Opinion Strategies group found that a majority of Americans support the bill's text, which states that schools statewide will not teach children in kindergarten through third grade about sexual orientation or gender identity in an age-inappropriate manner.
The survey said that 61 percent of voters agreed with the legislation, while 26 percent disagreed with it.
Referencing the so-called minority of those supporting the legislation and anti-woke actions, Disney wrote that "You need two things to rule with a minority."

"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't, you need them to sit quietly along the sidelines, out of your way," Disney continued. "Until now, business has been content to do just that."

View on XClaiming that now the right-wing and the "business agenda" may now be 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's 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."

These things are [k]ryptonite for the right wing agenda. So the cure for this isn't hard. And it also just so happens to be the heart and soul of the Disney brand."

"Right 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," she said.

They adopt identities and moral causes to project their problems onto the world and 'solve' them with their inherited wealth," Rufo wrote, referring to Disney.
