Ever since Disney began its ...

At the end of the first act of Hamilton, Aaron Burr sings to Alexander Hamilton, “Every proclamation guarantees free ammunition for your enemies,” in Non-Stop. For The Walt Disney Company, it’s not necessarily their proclamations but their continued theatrical failures that give further ammunition to the people who believe that Disney has gone “woke.” Ever since the feud with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ...
