In all other cases we are choosing between two competent people, but with different ideological views.
In this case we're choosing between somebody competent, and somebody fundamentally incompetent and incapable of effective governance, who has spent 4 years causing issues with that incompetence. All ideology aside, Trump cannot fill the functions expected of the office.
A lot of people will still prefer the incompetent fool who wont get anything done over the person who they know would be efficient - efficient at implementing all the policies they hate. For example, nobody who can be taken serious doubted (in 2016) that Hillary would run a tight, well-oiled administration. They doubted her intentions, not her competence.
Generally speaking, I think that this is one of the biggest disconnects in American politics: liberals just cant wrap their head around the idea that many conservatives are perfectly fine with having a dysfunctional federal government.
