Is Disney's Politics Going to Hurt DIS Stock

Is Disney's politics going to hurt DIS stock? Feuding in Florida over Disney's liberal political views keeps heating up. I wonder if DIS shareholders are good with all this?

The perception that Disney is "liberal" is subjective and can vary depending on individual perspectives and biases. It's important to note that companies, including Disney, are not inherently political entities, but rather they can reflect the values and viewpoints of their leadership, employees, and stakeholders.

Disney, like many other media and entertainment companies, aims to cater to a diverse audience and appeal to a wide range of consumers. They may produce content that reflects societal changes, addresses social issues, or promotes inclusivity and diversity. This can sometimes lead to the perception of a liberal leaning.

Furthermore, the Walt Disney Company has supported certain social and political causes or initiatives that align with what some people consider to be liberal values. For instance, Disney has expressed support for LGBTQ+ rights, environmental sustainability, and social justice issues.

It's worth noting that while Disney may exhibit certain stances or values, it is a large and complex corporation with many different divisions and stakeholders. Not all aspects of Disney's operations or content may align with a single ideological perspective.

Liberal political leanings will discourage some super-conservatives, but I can't see it really harming the DIS stock price.

Disney trying to push politics on kids will hurt the stock price in the long run. There is a large sector of conservative patrons in this country who will shun the parks and the movies due to political views. So overall Disney is going to pay for the political involvement, it may take a while but it will haunt the share price eventually.

Disney stock is a good investment only if you get in at the right price. There's only so high it can go. Disney's political views will deter some people from patronizing them, both parks and movies, so I don't know why they would put so much emphasis on that stuff when business can suffer as a result.
