President Trump has recently encouraged Jewish Americans to eschew their long-standing affiliation with the Democratic Party — a movement he and others refer to as “Jexodus.” He tweeted out claims that Jews are now leaving the Democrats over the party’s position on Israel.
“Jewish people are leaving the Democratic Party. We saw a lot of anti Israel policies start under the Obama Administration, and it got worsts & worse. There is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. They don’t care about Israel or the Jewish people.” Elizabeth Pipko, Jexodus. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 12, 2019 The president then cited his administration’s pro-Israeli policies of withdrawing from the Iran nuclear accords and moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as reasons Jewish Americans should switch to the Republican Party.
The ‘Jexodus’ movement encourages Jewish people to leave the Democrat Party. Total disrespect! Republicans are waiting with open arms. Remember Jerusalem (U.S. Embassy) and the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal! @OANN @foxandfriends — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2019 Yet as several commentators noted, there is no evidence whatsoever that there’s a Jexodus underway. Three factors, in particular, make it highly unlikely that such a mass shift will occur any time soon.
Here’s the background
American Jews have consistently identified with the Democratic Party over the Republican Party by a 2-to-1 margin in Pew Research Center Surveys conducted from 1994 to 2018.

“Jews never thought Hitler was a threat either, matter of fact many Jews embraced him and the Nazi party.”
And the Democrats would eventually put the Jews in chains along with the “schvatsa”, as the Dems would no doubt be calling them at that point. The Dems aren’t that far from their KKK roots.
While some Jews and blacks have learned that lesson...many have not. Sad.
They'd respond in the same way any other Rat Party disciple would: "racist,sexist,homopobibic..."
But they'd be sure to add "Nazi".
An Israeli born ex-neighbor of mine had two parents who had been in the camps. Reflecting on Hitler, he said he had been told, "Sure, we knew it was going to be bad when Hitler was elected. But, we've seen bad periods before. What's he going to do? Kill us all?"
I suspect that Tessler is right. I have had lots of Jewish friends over the years. My strong impression is that the large majority of these friends considered leftism a central part of their Jewish identity.
American Jews are primarily socialists with a quaint tribal background.
I’ve always liked to say that when it comes down to it, many are more Marxist than Jewish
Orthodox already voted for Trump in many cases
Jews are safe, for the time being, living in a country that is based on Christian and Republican ideals. So, therefore, they are safe, for the time being, voting for democrats who hate those two ideals.
The Jews will still vote with the RATS, however in 2020 you can bet that more will vote for Trump than ever voted for a GOP President before.
Many also are linked with socialist/communist ideas/thoughts.
The natural place for them to be is the CPUSA, but since they have very little influence, the Democrat party is a natural fit.
They have been able to radicalize it in a relatively short amount of time.

Ben Shapiro has said that the majority of Jews in this country are culturally Jewish but not religious. They are secular, in other words.
Leftist anti-semitism was rearing its head during the Clinton era, and they did not seem to mind.

Earlier. When I voiced admiration for the Israeli Army after 1973, I received a frosty look from another Jew who said:”I’m ashamed to be Jewish.” He meant he was ashamed to be related in any way to a military victory by an historically oppressed, despised and defeated group.
A few years later, after considerable separation from the person quoted above, we were in another conversation. I made a disparaging comment about political correctness (yes, it was a thing back in the 1980s among the left)and received a huffy, “I’m politically correct,” in reply. I was shocked, because this was a sarcastic person whose defining rhetoric was to laugh at and make fun of everyone. The lack of self-awareness was stunning.
There is a capo mentality among older Jews. Younger ones seem to teeter on an edge between claiming a smidge of victimhood and making sure everyone knows they aren’t nationalistic Jews who see Israel as the one last place of refuge should genocidal SHTF again. There is a rising pride in belonging to Temples (as opposed to synagogues) that incorporate Buddhist chanting and chimes into Friday night services. They call themselves BuJews.
I saw no decline when young Jewish college students were being attacked by Muslims and their enablers on college campuses.
I no longer have any leftist connections, including family members, so I don’t know for sure, but I doubt many will ever publicly disavow the left. Perhaps working class Jews will do so. Eventually. When they see that submission doesn’t work. Maybe.
Jews have a masochistic complex. They even have a book that tells them why they are supposed to have these feelings. What better way to ensure them than to be a dimocrat.
There's a lot of Cultural Catholics, as well.
“I would be curious to hear from a Jewish Democrat on this”
Well, there are about three dozen in Congress, I don’t see them beating down the GOP’s door and I don’t know why they would— American Jews are decidedly more liberal than the general population so would naturally be members of the Democratic Party.
I’m sure a lot of you are waiting on your preacher’s prediction for the children of Israel to awaken or some such stuff — I would’t bank on that— hasn’t happened for fifty years and American Jews are increasingly less supportive and tied to Israel.
An Israeli born ex-neighbor of mine had two parents who had been in the camps. Reflecting on Hitler, he said he had been told, “Sure, we knew it was going to be bad when Hitler was elected. But, we’ve seen bad periods before. What’s he going to do? Kill us all?”
I knew a couple who was in Germany early on and managed to leave before the round ups began and they told me many German Jews thought they could ride out the storm and reason with Hitler....Go along to get along so to speak plus Hitler’s own party had Jews in its ranks but not discussed openly.

These radical worker bees are now in leadership and influential positions and greasing the skids for the second and third generation radicals we see taking over the Democrat Party.
They are extremely well funded because Barak Obama directed hundreds of billions of dollars ( actually more like a trillion) of taxpayer money to fund the cause. There is a reason that groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and Tides Foundation have increased their endowments so massively - Southern Poverty Law’s is possibly approaching a billion dollars if offshore assets are counted for.
The new left wants a new final solution and that’s a fact.
They already have the committed people, the political power and the money to get the job done, now all they need to do is shape public opinion in the right direction, which they are working hard at.
