How Ron DeSantis' Florida became a model for Republicanism after Trump

The Telegraph  

The lines for the rides at Walt Disney World in Florida are as long as ever. The sun is shining, the specially branded Coca-Cola is flowing, and hordes of children wearing Mickey Mouse ears are jostling for his attention On the face of it, it’s business as usual for the Orlando theme park. The universally beloved resort has unexpectedly found itself on the front line in a culture-war battle launched by the state’s ambitious Republican governor. Ron DeSantis brought an end to the company’s tax privileges over its opposition to his controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which prohibits the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identification to primary-school-aged children. However, the fight with Disney is just one part of a broader “anti-woke” campaign by Mr DeSantis – who is being seen as a natural successor to Donald Trump – to build his profile and forge a path to the White House.
