It doesn't do anybody any good for their elected officials to pretend to be conservative if they're also incompetent or, maybe even worse, have no interest in actually doing the job.
I have buddies who love certain politicians b/c they see them perform on Fox News giving rousing monologues about their supposed conservative vision for America. People born to talk paired with journalist hacks who won’t ask serious questions.
They don’t get why I’m not a fan.

I try to point out the following:
1) Talking isn’t leading. Being a good talker doesn’t mean that you know what you’re talking about. Commentary is not the same as competence.
Elections today are often ideological beauty contests. Not enough people ask “can they do the job?”

2) They often don’t show evidence of having solid character. And as many used to preach before selling out all their convictions in exchange for Donald Trump, character matters. It dictates how people will behave when they have lots of power and lots of job security.
3) God’s Word makes it clear that the most important character trait is love (1 Corinthians 13). Much more important than talent or skills. Especially rhetorical skills.
A leader who doesn’t actually care about people will never be a good leader.
