Of course not; incompetence should be eliminated. But your framing here entirely ignores the countervailing and valid point that removing basic protections regarding political views expressed outside the workplace simply invites the abuse of an employer's power to curtail the free expression of political views outside the workplace.
If one can be fired by their government employer for political views, that is a clear abrogation of one's First Amendment rights. Are you actually supporting these limits on free speech?
