Ironically both Rove and Bush were fans of the show (according to Bruce Boxleitner’s wife who headed the actors guild at the time and met with them at the White House). JMS said he had to lie down for a while after hearing that. I love JMS but he did tend to view anyone to the right of Mao as reactionary. How him and Jerry Doyle (who was later a conservative talk show host) didn’t kill each other is a testament to how great the cast and crew were. People forget now, but department of homeland security - with all its B5 connotations was originally a Democratic Party idea, which Bush resisted until he started getting beat up politically for not doing more to unify the intelligence and security functions post 9/11. As for the telepaths - well that’s a different story..
