DeSantis' actions are the will of the people. The only question is whether it's a violation of a corporation's free speech - and when does anyone ever really care about that.
Imagine a scenario where a corporation was talking anti-left stuff in a blue state. E.g. immigration, unions, etc. Would the people not be entitled to revoke their special privileges because they don't like what they are saying? This is the real test.
I'm actually not sure, but its interesting to flip the actors political affiliation to check for fairness.

E.g. immigration, unions, etc. As if a coffee company HQ'ed in Seattle, WA was going about and trying to do union busting. Or how about a large logistics and e-commerce company HQ'ed in the Seattle and its union busting attempts.
- voidwtf 4y agoThe will of the people, are you kidding? Many of DeSantis’ politically motivated actions target counties/municipalities that overwhelmingly voted for a different candidate. The majority of “South Florida” is made up of diverse, densely populated, areas that lean slightly left of center. “North Florida” by comparison is sparsely populated and leans heavily right. Yet, for some reason the state government feels the need to consistently subvert the will of the people by preempting local governments and municipalities. Repeatedly overriding the will of the people in those areas.
