The US has got into a place where for most people political opinions are a package deal that you get shipped to you in a box from a major political party. You don't think through each issue and come to a conclusion, that takes too much time, you just subscribe to the bundle of your choosing and accept everything they offer.
Are you strongly pro-life? Well, that comes bundled with an isolationist foreign policy these days, so let's just check that box for you while we're at it.
Are you in favor of gay rights? Well, that comes bundled with opposition to Israel and support of Palestine.
It's not about what makes coherent sense, it's about groupthink.
