“Tikkun olam is a non orthodox concept. There is no such concept in the Torah. Well, at least not how you mean it… the entire concept of tikkun olam was made up by liberal jews.”
This is a mistake. The concept of tikkun olam is very much Torah concept. What the secularists did was perverted the concept and used it as a substitute for Torah and Mitzvot.
Chessed is one of the 3 pillars of the world. Rav Moshe called America a medina shel chessed. He didn’t mean that they learn and live Tomer Devorah or Chumash Rashi. Now, chessed can be perverted. It can also be used as a substitute to Torah. That’s bad. Very. That doesn’t mean one gets to say that chessed is not a Torah concept.

On the other hand how can a frum Yid support a Party that (for starters)
-supports abortion on demand, partial birth abortions, funding planned parenthood even after…
-supports same gender “marriages”, supports mandatory education that such unions are moral
-is openly pro Palestinian / anti-Israel (even the better ones among them equivocate between them)
