This isn't idiocy, this is cruelty. He's such an ideologue that he would rather Floridians suffer than take a dime of evil Big Gubmint money.

These grant funds were among some $511 million in line-item vetoes made by DeSantis before signing the state’s $116.5 million budget into law last month.

Imagine a politician who dlat least sometimes does what's right instead of trying to own "the others"

No need to imagine. Come to Michigan to witness it in action.

No governor exemplifies "The cruelty is the point" more than DeSantis. Most GOP governors will provide all of the public talking points but still do what benefits some of their constituents when the window is open. Desantis is a different (worse) breed.
