Yes. They also vote for the Left and the totalitarians on the theory that if they support and love the masters the masters won’t kill them. It is a relic of the German experience, even though it failed in Germany.

That’s just not historically accurate.

The biggest wave of Jewish immigration into the USA was between 1880 and 1924, a period that saw the Jewish population increase from about 250,000 to 4.5 million. With Jewish persecution on the rise during an intensely nationalistic period in European history, the Jews fled Poland, Russia, Romania, Galicia (in the Austro-Hungarian Empire), and other regions of eastern Europe.

But not so much Germany, although that was a part, in that Germany was relatively OK place to be.

By the time the Nazis came to power, national restrictions imposed by the JOHNSON- REED ACT of 1924, which limited annual Jewish immigration to about 10,000 -— resulting in the massive deaths in concentration camps of German Jews, and the tendency for German Jews to go elsewhere (e.g., Palestine).

The German Jews of Israel are an 85% Republican voting block, to the extent there is dual citizenship.

The historical tendency towards communism of the 1880 group is because there were two choices: communists (who pretended to be nice to Jewish people) and nationalists (who openly talked about extermination).

Now, it’s really just an urban thing. Urban Jews are statistically very similar to urban everybody, voting wise.
