Can't be overstated just how deeply Republicans oppose (a) merit in employment; (b) functional government; and (c) the notion Americans have any shared interests. That's why they don't even feel a tension between "being a bigot" and "undermining national security." To them, the latter is irrelevant.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
While broadcasters typically air a prime-time address by the president, they determined that this speech was more ‘political’ than newsworthy for live coverage
