"Just an excuse to spend more money."

Like that's our goal, not protecting democracy. Just throwing away money for no reason.

Tuberville believes this nonsense because he listens to RW media, which flatters his self-image because it gives him someone to look down on. But he really hasn't thought this through.

Nobody wants to spend money for no reason. They have reasons, they're just ones you disagree with.

If you listen to too much partisan media, you'll start to believe their caricatures of the other side are real, and you'll make stupid mistakes like this.
