It is understandable if not always reasonable.
I have an anecdote that addresses that. I visited in Los Angeles several year ago and met a couple in Hollywood. They were well established, intelligent, Jewish, and in their 70s. This was in September of 2020. I was asked by the lady who I intended to vote for in the upcoming election. Not wanting to really get into a big discussion, my reply was, "democracy". She responded, "then you will be voting for Donald Trump". I remained silent at that point.
This neighborhood was largely Jewish, with a rather large synagogue close by. This family was a big supporter of Israel (entirely understandable) but she associated democracy in an American election with Israel and NOT with the viability of it here.
