Look I’ve had conversations like this a lot, it comes down to exactly what you said. Two parties ends up being the lesser of two evils, and trump to most conservatives absolutely was the lesser of two evils. As other commentators said, he fulfilled many of his campaign promises. He pushed foreign policy in a direction the whole world needed but didn’t want. He’s been drawing down foreign troops since his first day in office, so much so that apparently his generals were lying to him about how many ppl they had out there.
It’s perplexing to me that if what you say you believe is what you believe why a politician being a liar is a problem for you.
All politicians lie, none as brazenly as Trump sure; but every single one of them has been caught lying in the last 9 months, many have been pretty brazen in their hypocrisy.
My many conservative friends will point to 1000s of small white lies and 100s of big ones that Biden told, as proof that the other side is just as complicit.

I mostly disagree with Trump on policy, but even if he ticked every policy box for me, I can't imagine wanting to end rule of law and just have an imperial president. Our political institutions like elections, the courts, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Reserve are built mostly on norms that took decades and sometime centuries to build up. He seems ready to throw them all out.
