Not quite. It's not just about personal preferences. It's about someone who is a clear and present danger to our way of life and the security of the country.

That is your personal opinion. A large potion of Americans feel differently than you. You may have strong feelings about this, but you aren't allowed to force an outcome on society because of it. You are advocating for fascism and rigged elections because you don't like a president's style.
Those Americans are wrong, and most deserve the 'deplorable' moniker they were given. Most of them shouldn't have a right to vote in the first place IMO.

And to downplay the issues as 'a president's style' is incredibly disingenuous.

These are simply more opinions and do not justify your desire to enact fascism via rigged elections.
No, not opinions. Demonstrable facts.

you're going to have to explain this one to me

Most of the positions of people who vote GOP are untenable and at odds with our current understanding. Denying climate change is a good example.

Voting on that basis has, and will continue to have real damage for citizens of the country, and thus the country as an entity.

However, this mirrors what the QAnons and the hardline MAGAs say about Clinton and Biden. Or more or less what Bush used to tell about Saddam. It might be worth noticing.

Only one side thought JFK was going to reappear. Only one side has a history of believing ridiculous claims with no evidence that repeatedly fail to bear fruit. Maybe that side should be taken less seriously.
Yes, and maybe we should also avoid parroting their rhetoric :D
Sure, I wouldn't and haven't done so. Was just refuting your point.
