this is true, but not because people like these companies. it's because businesses control politics in this country, and if you go after a major company like Disney and don't let them do whatever they want, suddenly other businesses and donors start going "hey wait a second... we don't want to be next, we'll just support another guy"

It's both. Disney is a strong brand and going after it feels like an attack to people with strong positive associations. DeSantis lost the Disney adult vote and that's got to be whole portions of a percent of his base.
