The Trump administration probably threatened to break up Disney.
Let’s hope so, it’d be a shame if they did this on their own initiative.

That might be true, but also corporations always chase after approval of the White House, regardless of who's in there at the time. It's good for business.
They're complying in advance, one of the worst things to do with fascists.
Nah, they probably realized that parents are generally more conservative than most and more likely to be Christian than the general population. They're following the money.
Except that's not true at all
What makes you think that becoming a parent somehow makes you conservative? It is already hard to raise a kid and usually it means at least one parent has to give up there career. We don't need to be pushing any more stigmas.
I don't think the argument is really that becoming a parent makes you more conservative, it's more the other way around- conservatives are more likely to become parents
On paper it makes some amount of sense, with the lack of belief in abortion and contraception, emphasis on "traditional family values" and such.
In actuality, I don't know if it holds water. I've seen a couple studies done on that idea, and the results have kind of been a bit of a mixed bag, I think my takeaway was more that conservatives who have kids tend to have more of them than liberals who have kids, but overall rates of liberals and conservatives who have kids in general were pretty damn close.
It seems like this is more based on stereotypes than anything else. I don't think political views impact the choice to have kids much. They will raise there kids differently but that's a totally separate thing.
You can see a pretty clear difference looking at fertility rates between red states and blue states. So there is definitely something to the idea.
What's a bit harder to sort out is whether it's because more conservatives are choosing to have kids in general, or if those who do are just more likely to have multiple kids.
