Isn’t putting conditions on federal aide for disasters in states the kind of government action to which you are opposed?

I am in southern California and a Democrat. I’m starting to read articles like this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/11/warren-davidson-republican-disaster-relief-california-wildfires

I always thought these kinds of conditions were what most Republicans were opposed to. Or are you all opposed to disaster federal aide in general?

To be fair, I am a life long liberal democrat so I don’t know much about your views that I haven’t heard from other democrats. I am interested to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your thoughtful conversation! I haven’t been able to respond to everyone but I learned a lot and got some different perspectives. Don’t agree with them all, but it was nice to have a chat with folks with different points of view. Have a great night everyone!
