Not that I am or will ever be a worm in DeSantis's brain, but I figure people like him put populism above any such logic.
In other words, I don't think he cares what impact this will have; he just cares that it will drive his base to the polls to support him. If eating babies live on TV would make his polling numbers go up 10%, he'd do it.
Why MAGA would want to kill cancer treatment funding is beyond my mental gymnastics abilities without further digging into what is a very depressing article. I assume it was labeled "woke" or a non-zero amount of the cancer patients were immigrants or something.

Ron DeSantis is a sawed-off, fascist piece of shit.

Aren't most politicians these days?
Politicians these days sit in their offices and contemplate how to cause as much misery and maximise profits at the same time.
