Available data show ( check online): lots of people left/escaped from CCP to the US. for various reasons, now, supporting an incumbent candidate as a token of their dissenting against CCP. Their disliking or hating CCP for personal or familial reasons is understandable. But their defaming this incumbent's rival candidate makes the anti-communism and anti-Democratic Party entangled interestingly.

Furthermore, using a candidate as a political ally/platform against their native country is not easily understood.

Though the US is not their motherland, she offers something important that they cannot get from their native country.

She is not a machine for out letting one's anti-communist sentiments nor personal unhappy past.
So, use the voting power to express some decencies related to this country, such as anti-stealing-bribing-spying. Voting in the US. can be done better than OUT LETTING angry steam due to personal bad experiences under CCP regime in the past. Support something about the US. for being here, not using her as an avenging tool for the past.
Well...鳳同鴨講...
----------------------------------
Let me make it clear: the CCP is NOT CCP , but a giant Capitalistic-Totalitarian regime with 1.4 billion unfortunate human ants-n-bees, which is never qualified of any bit for practicing Communism, even too far away from the early stage of the general type of Socialism!
The US. perhaps needs another century or two, that may have the capacity to touch the rim of Socialism.

Hijacking the essence of Marx's original idealism out of contexts is not nice!

A couple of fb friends showed interest in this topic. In fact, I have a writing-in-progress. I excerpted a part of it through a recent observation from their social media activities. I categorized these groups into the following categories (not completed yet):

1. The victims of the June 4th, 1989’s students protest, or the Tiananmen Square massacre. They tend to be students at that time. Some got Bush senior’s sympathy and were granted green cards to stay in the US. This group of people has the firsthand experience of the brutal crackdown by the CCP government with one-dimensional hatred toward the CCP, but their hearts are still in China. They wish China to be democratic and strong.
Both dominant Parties: Rep and Dem are happy to use them for different politico-economic-cultural causes, and vice versa.

2. The victims of CCP’s anti-corruption campaigns, and the routine political purges of class and power-struggles. This group of people made an important connection to the CCP's inner circle or was a protégé of the powerful CCP politburos.
Most of them through the vast Chinese LANDs and relevant investments made a great fortune. Unfortunately, when they grew too big to be controlled, the CCP would bring them down. The lucky ones used the money to escape to the US.
This group tends to be extremely Conservative, going well with GOP’s capitalists/upper classes' doctrines. They harbor tremendous hatred against CCP.

3. The privileged elites with a great amount of education and fortunes, through CCP government projects or other international opportunities to come to the US. They enjoy the freedom and human rights of the US. Through jobs, marriages, or investments, they managed to stay in the US. These groups know how to use the US. powerful Media Platforms and the benefit of the 1st Amendment to voice what they believe to accord with the US.’ best interests.
Some of them are brainwashed with the ideology of Super-Nationalism, while others may grow with skepticism toward Communism, and the rest, drifting somewhere or nowhere. Due to the paychecks, family safety issues, and other cross-cultural misunderstanding reasons, some may choose to align with GOP’s political interests expediently.

4. This group comprises different walks of life. Due to the CCP’s 1999 persecution of Falung Gong (法輪功) which is deemed as a harmful religious cult. The Falung Gong movement’s Web sites and brochures say that it has 100 million practitioners. The number was also reported in U.S. News and World Report. Believers and practitioners spread worldwide. This group strongly dislikes the CCP. Other minor groups stay in the US. sharing similar sentiments. Most of them equate Communism to CCP.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) becomes the symbol of human rights abuser who deprives their property, freedom, and/or fame.
The CCP propounds Atheism. So, religions, by the Conservative nature, these groups and subgroups of Falung Gong tend to, again, accord with GOP’s “values”.

A cliché goes: “Human beings are selfish, self-serving animals. Without it, hard to survive.” The self-interested nature is a part of genetic makeup. These groups entered the US. through various channels to fully take advantage of quite an amount of freedom to do things, which are much better than the rest of stealing and sabotaging spies and agents embedded in various economic-cultural institutions of the US.
That's the main analysis of why I pointed out why these groups, fundamentally were very Conservative by nature, and how they entangled these two economic-political ideologies together: Anti-CCP and Anti-Democratic Party.

Just a rough observation.

A penny for your thoughts.

----------------------------------------------

One more observation: the geo-political complexity oftentimes making one point clear, leaves much untold.
Some people left CCP to the US. with strong nostalgic Nationalism, who may use Dem to be an echo chamber for supporting their native country which dislikes Rep in this game.

There are many other conditions that might have been left out in this writing due to the complexity of the diverse groups situated in different situations and politico-economic-cultural ideologies.

Supertramp - The Logical Song [Official Music Video]Supertramp - The Logical Song [Official Music Video]

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable,…
