I am taking you at your word that this is an honest question, so I’ll take the time to respond.
I am a conservative (ffb) and I will be voting for Joe Biden. I find Trump’s behavior too erratic for the the office he holds, he does not have the maturity necessary for the pressure cooker he is in. Until Covid is has not been tested with a serious crisis, and I don’t think he is handling the crisis well. Nor do I think he’s an effective president. His only major piece of R legislation were the tax cuts.
I think he is a compulsive liar, he has terrible a character, his (not so) private life is reprehensible, and I don’t think he’s an honest man. (This is also a tiny percent of my issues with him.)
His greatest sin in my mind is fanning the flames of hatred and division in this country, that is unforgivable. As president he should seek to lower the temperature and the volume not stoke it.
I’m not taking away from the positive things he’s done. Namely on Israel, judges, standing against socialism (Maduro), his pro business policies but it’s time to move on from him. His hero status in our communities bothers me tremendously. As Jews we should only view non Jewish politicians through a transactional lens, we must not look to him as a model.
I’m fully aware that a Biden presidency will be bad. Bad for America, for the Jews, and for Israel.
BUT…
In the United States we tend to swing back and fourth every 8 years. There is going to be a Democrat president sooner of later, if not in 4 months than almost certainly in 4 years. Then it will swing back. 2024 will (most likely) be a open election with no incumbent running, Biden will be a lousy president. Give them time to regroup and refocus, and the chances of a republican comeback in 2024 are high in my estimation. I believe it is important that the party recover itself from Trump and parts of Trumpism.
This is my personal calculation. Even if I am wrong, there is always 2028. I reject the notion that this is our last chance to vase the county. If are country can be lost by a single election then it is lost already. Barack Obama was awful for Israel in his 8 years, Trump undid much of that. We will recover from Biden as well.
I understand that this is the minority view, but I home I can give at least some perspective why some people who are supporting Biden. Others will have different calculations.
