Many Ameican Jews are inexplicable politically.
Over the years I have spoken to a number of Jewish-Americans who reflexively support Rats even to detriment of their own financial & personal interests. The explanations run something like this: (For typing brevity Republican = Conservative)
1. Republicans are controlled by the evangelicals. Many American Jews are absolutely convinced of this. They are convinced that GOP/Evangelical government will herd them into camps, introduce Imperial Russian style pogroms or at a minimum put a evangelic into their living room to proselytize to them.
2. Republicans hate the poor and minorities and don’t want a better world.
3. Republican aren’ cool.
Older Jewish Americans go wth 1 & 2, younger ones with 3.
On the contrary, given their long history in Europe, their behavior is entirely consistent with their received memories of that experience....
I tend to agree with you. When it comes down to it, the only thing that makes sense is an ABJECT HATRED towards Christians, based on the (very likely) small number of them who tried to convert them or otherwise made them feel uncomfortable. They hate it so much, that they prefer Muslims, who at least don’t try to convert them...and they want nothing at all to do with conservatives achieving power.
It is unreal.
