How come Republicans and the Gov of Florida holding up hurricane relief just for political points while their voters are suffering? (lemmy.world)

Many of them think that hurricane relief that they use is different than the hurricane relief the republicans oppose. They currently believe that FEMA grounded rescue helicopters from saving people after Helene because of budget constraints, and that their budget is spent on relocating refugees (of course that’s not the term they use) to political battleground states instead. They think that by voting against the relief they are preserving it

Um no offense to you but that makes my head heart trying to fathom that.
