In Ron DeSantis' astonishingly pointless vendetta against Walt Disney World, it seems the Florida governor's favorite insult to use against the corporation is "wokeness."Ever since former CEO Bob Chapek criticized the governor's homophobic and transphobic Parental Rights in Education Act - which forbids discussion of gender and sexual identity in public schools - DeSantis and his supporters have repeatedly accused the entertainment conglomerate of "echoing Democrat propaganda," and engaged in a vicious legal battle over Disney World's self-governing tax status that's proved a huge headache for the state.
