Catholics in England or Australia and Protestants in France, like Jews here, tended to vote for the left, because they were regarded as outsiders by the majority.
The exception was Jews in Britain, who tended to vote Conservative, for a long time because they felt more like outsiders in the Labour Party than among the Tories.
Other ethnic groups (Irish, Italians, Slavs) that started out as Democrats moved closer to the Republicans as they moved up the social ladder.
Jews were slower to do so, particularly as politics came to be centered more on religion (which made them feel like outsiders again).
Eastern European Jews have more of a communal, nostalgic attachment to the Democratic Party than either German or Sephardic Jews.
I agree with your comment and many of the above, overall it seems counterintuitive to non-Jews for Jews to be for any things, people, practices non-Jews think they “logically” should be against and vice versa. Why stridently support immigrants with such a large percent that cant and won’t tolerate living with the rest of us, with particular animus for Jews? Because you feel that you support them seeing them as persecuted as you once were but by and large you don’t live work or mix with them so you are inoculated from their hatred? Or that their seething is justified? Why cite religious freedom and patriotism in pushing that immigration on everyone while spearheading efforts to strike religious expression and patriotism from all public places, except for what the intolerant new immigrants believe? Why contradict the Judeo-Christian Commandment to not kill, with forethought , then forcefully en bloc be for abortion? Perhaps consciously or unconsciously considering the Talmudic concept that a child is not a child until outside the womb?
If it’s all just to create a new order to eliminate the (formerly) prejudiced Christians’ mores as societally predominant because it can be done through legal means, I could at least rationalize the motivation while not agreeing one bit. I just can’t reconcile tyranny of the minority via the justice system with democracy.
