Just the characterization of Disney's opposition to the "Parental Rights in Education" bill as "misbehaving", is telling. Voicing you opposition of government legislation is a right enshrined in the first amendment. It's not "misbehaving"--it's exercising a constitutional right.

What happens if the Florida legislature flipped Blue next election, and started passing legislation against right-leaning entities for "misbehaving" by voicing opposition to more liberal social policies?

What happens if the legislature decides to use eminent domain to repossess your house because they disagree with a Tweet you made?

Hopefully, you can see how these actions are pernicious attacks on the first amendment.
