There's another possibility other than sheer malevolence here, which is that the smarter folks in the GOP recognize that telework presents a threat to their gerrymandering strategies. Republicans do best when non-GOP voters are packed into urban areas. Teleworking means that you can keep your fancy city job but move out to the country, where you are going to start purpling areas that the Republicans would prefer remained red.
To be clear, I'm sure that for most Republicans, it really is about contempt for ordinary workers. But I do believe that WFH is going to have a measurable impact on the political landscape, and not one in favor of the GOP.
