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
