So what if it was?

There is nothing to investigate, Wikipedia is a private organization and if it has a bias it is none of the government's business.
The party of "small government?" "Don't tread on me?" What the hell happened, Republicans?
They only ever cared about white supremacy. All that other stuff was bullshit.

How do you download Wikipedia?
Easiest way is via Kiwix.

If you don’t have a [Kiwix Server] spun up, do it today!(https://kiwix.org/en/)
This is a very neat thing, thanks for sharing!

Like... You should probably get to work organizing then because they're already doing it.

They can try... Wikipedia has been bolstering themselves against this exact kind of attack for many years. They've made the entirety of the site completely downloadable for literally anyone to make and keep a copy and lots of people do (though the more the better).
The Wikimedia corporation that runs the actual site may have to ensure that it's incorporated in a different country though.

A right that's getting rapidly eroded. Like, 1A is a right that's pretty much reduced to only existing on paper at this point and some politicians are probably looking for a way to erase it from the Constitution entirely.
Or replace it with the conservative version, which states: white men have the right to call black people the hard-R N-word, without consequences, including getting called racist, losing friends, losing employment opportunities.

The biases:
- Calls Israel's genocide a genocide.
- Does not state, that the "judeo-christian" god is real, and that the creation myth is real. Does not state that evolution is a "discredited theory", using arguments from the Discovery Institute as citations.
- States that trans people exists, citations point to actual studies, articles don't automatically redirect to an article about "narcissistic personality disorder", currently existing article on NPD does not list "gender confusion" as a potential sympthom, and no links to websites of christian "psychologists" (read: theologists with a doctorate) offering "therapy" (read: exorcism, forced prayer, forced conversion to fundamentalist christianity.
- Does not call liberalism a "childish psychosis".
- Lists actual COVID death numbers, does not call mRNA vaccines "modified RNA", does not reserve autism spectrum disorder only for boys that are extremely low functioning.

You forgot the scare quotes around "oppressed."
They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.
Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is "of course we're being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?"
In Hungary we have a saying: "The problem isn't what he did, but that he was busted doing it." since the Gábor Kaleta and József Szájer cases, and the Hungarian PragerU clone Axióma kind of implied this, essentially saying "leftist hypocrisy proves that the left's views are unfeasible, rightist hypocrisy proves that people on the right are humans first and foremost".
