@Screamer_2 is spot on in everything he's said, but I'd add something.
Iger was not a true leftist, of course he wasn't. Anybody who believes Iger, or any other CEO, or Soros for that matter, are leftists, is just naive to be charitable to them. Conservatives, they exactly aren't, either.
He just believed, wrongly, that the zeitgeist was in that direction, and the ESGbucks from Blackrock did not help him think otherwise. He believed, wrongly, there was a consensus. Disney went all in drunk on the american elites echo chamber and they're far from the only ones who did so.
The problem is the people the hired are true believers, and the people they currently have as prospective consumers are true believers and can make a lot of noise in media and the internet.
And despite all the grief and financial loss, they'll struggle getting rid of all these zealots they hired without getting the Null treatment on the similarly infested, heavily subsidized, unavoidably dying activist infested media, which they still fear terribly.
I know they won't win me back for at least a couple of decades, and at that, I will always be wary of them because they'll do this again. Once they win back the crowd and they think they have enough influence again they'll restart the agenda, they might recover the subtlety they once had with The Message, but they still push for the very same stuff with the very same goals, because it is in their nature to do so.
However, if Disney gets rid of all the woke, it would be wonderful. It would send waves through Hollywood that Go Woke, Go Broke is real, which they're doing their best to ignore any evidence of as of today. But thinking Disney will ever be totally unwoke is naive. Disney has always been some shade of woke since old Walt went into the freezer, it's been a part of their "Family values" identity ever since. What has happened to them was not a radical revolution but a natural evolution, much like what has happened in academia.
