To be fair, having even that sort of shit politics, the voting for H.W. kind of shitty, is perfectly consistent with voting for Biden because the never-Trump neocons are part of Biden's target audience.
While we’re talking about cartoon protagonists’ politics, would Hank Hill vote for Trump?
He is staunchly conservative, values “hard work and responsibility” is a devout Methodist, looks down on “tree-hugging hippies”, and absolutely hates big liberal cities like New York and LA.
But I can’t see him getting fooled by Trump. Trump is the antithesis of Hank’s values. A loud, rich New Yorker who screws over everybody but himself and who flip flops on every issue until he settles on whatever the last thing he heard was.
I don’t think Hank could bring himself to vote for a Democrat, but I don’t think he would vote for someone like Trump. But not voting is one of the biggest sins an American can make, so he has to choose one of them.
That is a really good breakdown. I can see this in-episode with Hank in the polling booth, sweat dripping down his face as he hovers his pen over the Biden and Trump bubbles. He tells himself, "Just this once, Hank. You got this. One vote for a Democrat and then we'll never speak of this again."
Edit: And then he comes out of the booth, and Dale is there yelling, "Haha sissy! You voted for Biden didn't you?" And Hank sighs and replies with, "Shut up, Dale. Let's go back to the alley and drink some beers."

Did we watch the same show?
I get what you're saying here, but that seems way more complicated than what the show tries to do.
This is true based on what [relatively little] I've seen. Though it was at its best for more seasons than you're claiming,
Dale spends Election Day in Mexico.
Hank would just say he’s voting for Biden because “The President is a jackass”
Hank Hill is Joe Biden's target demographic, a cartoon conservative with good reason at the end of the day

Now I’m thinking of Bill being angry horny at AOC lol
I think Hank would be fooled by Trump being a successful businessman but would have his illusions shattered pretty quick.
Your also overlooking that Trump was very pro coal and Hank loves natural gas.

Uncle Hank, I’m a communist now! Power to the people!
One of my favorite episodes lmao
Idk I love King of the Hill, but I just rewatched S1 and Hank was way more reactionary than I remember.
