This resonates also with moderate muslims in America. They can't find themselves in the current political system. One side vilifies and dehumanizes them, the other tokenizes them for votes.
The recent politics in the US laid it bare for Muslims in the US political system that nobody cares about them. That they're just used for political gains. I think sense of disenfranchisement resonates too with African Americans, who generally vote democrats because this version of the Republican Party isn't really in their favor, nor an ally to them.
You're not alone in your confusion. I think about it too, if I were in the US how will I vote? Republicans want to maintain a sense of 'moral boundaries' to society, but their version is so unhinged and extreme that they'll do anything to oppress me, aside from the leadership that has nothing to do with Christianity. On the other hand, the left might be easier, but some of the things they do go explicitly against my belief system. It's a tough position. I hope you find your peace with it.

I loved listening to you reading this!
Thanks. It was the only way to say “God bless America” the way I wanted
