There is a more general problem about the frum community in America that this thread exposes. Namely, that many of them confuse politics with religion. I’ll explain.
Basically, the Republicans’ general political stance tallies reasonably closely with a frum viewpoint. For example, they support traditional, conservative moral values, they support Israel, and they tend to appeal to middle-class, higher-income voters, a bracket many frum yidden fall into.
Therefore, for a frum yid in America, supporting the GOP, and the more right wing of the party in particular, can feel very natural. And this obvious preference is clearly expressed in the frum media, on websites such as this one, and generally across the board. And this is understandable and usually correct. And due to this alliance, they tend to express solidarity with the party on most issues, including the ones that have little to do with being frum and more to do with being a Republican.
This can mean, in my experience, that they often take the bathwater with the baby, as it were. So you’ll find otherwise sensible people being outright fanatical about issues such as gun control and Obamacare, to pick two excellent examples. And this reflects itself in the way some demonize Clinton whilst ignoring, or downplaying, the obvious foibles of the Donald. And indeed, demonizing the Democrats in general and being far too fawning when it comes to the Republicans. And this blind partisanship can be very confusing to someone used to a more nuanced, and rather critical, view of politics.
