It blows my mind that DeSantis seems to have this complete blind spot and inability to see his own inhumanity.
People (usually) don't think, "I know the difference between right and wrong, and I'm going to choose wrong, because I want to be wrong and bad." They think they are doing right and good things for the benefit of all people they judge to also be right and good.
That blind spot you refer to is what enables people like DeSantis to be so wrong. That blind spot comes first, and creates the wrongness second.
