How can these people be so stupid?
You really don’t know?
It’s a fairly obvious
It’s not just how liberal Jews vote
It’s everything they have an impact in
An impact far beyond their numbers
Imagine if southern baptists had the same influence in media Hollywood and academia
The left would be dead and stanking
..lol....moderate on social issues freepers just shat themselves at the thought
I’m tired of paying attention to the Weinsteins and Speilbergs and Schumers of the world and their hatred of American traditions we cherish
I’m more interested in why good smart folks of Jewish heritage or religion buck the trend and see the light
There is a component there which is paramount to how we can win and survive ...nay...prevail....(hat tip Bill Faulkner)
It’s natural for me as a southern Christian to be pro America and western civ but when a Horowitz or Lapin or Schlapp does it they are reaching beyond the most well trodden path
That we can learn from
I’ve often wondered why their politics is the way it is too. So far the only explanation I can decipher in my head has to do with their global history of diaspora. Jews scattered but most went to Europe. They have a long history of being treated very harshly by European countries, where Christianity was the dominant religion. And of course it came to a head during the Holocaust. I’m not “blaming” anyone and I’m definitely not anti-Christian or anti-Jew. I’m just stating historical reality. My theory (and that’s all it is) is that over the CENTURIES, they have internalized their historical “warning flashes” when it comes to politics. Anything that smacks of extremity they grow wary. In Christian America they experienced far less of it, but they still faced some. So much of Jewish history is suffering brought about by political dominance of other groups. I honestly believe they think they are always at risk of falling into another period of it. Even though America was kinder to the Jews than any nation in history, the tripwire is always ready to flip to them. For American Jews, many are now “nominal” Jews. Politics has seemingly supplanted religion for them. And they use it to fight against what they PERCEIVE as “oppression.” That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
Coupled with that is the fact that Harry Truman called for a homeland for Jews and recognized Israel 11 minutes after it declared itself. He did so in opposition to the U.S. state department, who were afraid of offending Arabs and their oil. Truman responded he would decide his policy on the basis of justice, not oil. That probably spoke volumes to them. They have stuck like glue to the Democrats ever since.
