Florida Governor Ron DeSatan had no idea who he was messing with when he attacked Disney over their objection to his insane assaults on the LGBTQ communities.
Mickey Mouse recently made the rounds of all the talk shows to condemn DeSatan for his lack of compassion and humanity, and for his lack of respect for democratic ideals by attempting to destroy public education.
During his interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, Mickey declared his candidacy for President of the United States in 2024.
“But do you think you can actually win?” Roberts said, holding out her hand.
“Yes, of course I can win,” Mickey said, and flashed his beloved smile. “I am an American icon, an institution, if you will. DeSatan is nothing but an empty suit, propped up by the wrongest of right-wing billionaires who’ve declared that democracy and freedom are incompatible. One has to wonder if he’s not one of those Useful Idiots the Kremlin is so fond of supporting in our country.”
“That’s a shocking allegation!” Roberts says. “You certainly have strong opinions, for a mouse!”
“My mother was an early suffragette, not many other mice know that. But back to DeSatan and his use of the well-worn dictator playbook. If you can scare the bejesus out of people, they are putty in your hands. What’s the surest way to make Americans frightened? Tell them that the schools are out to turn their children gay! As if that’s the worst thing in the world!”
Robin says, “I’ve been noticing your bright enamel lapel pin. It looks like—“
“A rainbow,” says Mickey. “Minnie has been my beard for the past 92 years.”
