Lol more like both sides have full checkmarks. They're both definitely obsessed with national security, not sure if you lived through the 9/11 era but that was all that was talked about for decades. They both think our military can stomp anyone. They're both cheating elections (look at gerrymandering, and how lobbying and 'advisors' have infiltrated our democracy).

This "the republicans will save you" rhetoric is basically a "bad cop, good cop" gambit to save the system at this point, but the parties keep switching who is the good cop and who is the bad cop about every 15 years. Whoever has power ends up being the bad cop, because the system is so thoroughly compromised by special interests.
