I don’t believe I’ve ever had a Jewish friend that WASN’T liberal.
On the other hand, one of my dearest friends is a Christian fundamentalist who used to speak in tongues and is an over-the-top, passionate liberal. Just barely handles that I’m the same over Trump.

Just on the west border of Minneapolistan is St Louis Park.
It has always been called St JEWISH Park due to the very heavy Jewish population. A year or two ago they elected a young Somali muslim as mayor.
Politically conservative Jews are mostly religious and live in walking distance sized neighborhoods and concentrate in occupations amenable to Sabbaths and holidays. Most Americans have little personal contact with such except maybe for ubiquitous Chabad-Lubavitch representatives who are very much politically and culturally conservative.
In an effort to project being an intellectual, these people replace a solid understanding of world events with contrarianism. Then blindly go about their self serving business.
100% echo your statement, Mairdie.
Jews or JINOs?
Got off the Jewish train a long time ago..American jews are anti Christian imo....
Over many decades I’ve had many decent, likeable jewish friends, coworkers, supervisors, doctors, etc. As far as politically conservative, for sure I can think of only one...one. But he was a fellow Air Force officer and WW2 air combat veteran. Also had a casual aquaintance on a civilian pistol team who was an ardent gunmman. In more recent times I’ve met some Israeli IDF types who seemed pretty solid.
The Schumers, Nadlers, Goldmans, Cohens, Feinsteins etc of the world because of their obnoxious and repullsive higb profile tend to give all jews a bad name. It boils down to taking and assessing everyone as they come on a person by person basis.
I think that goes for me, too, except my girlfriend when we were in Seminary.
Her father had converted from Judaism and become a Baptist pastor. (Beside the point, but she was such a great pianist.)
I’ve got a Jewish atheist at work who is a Trump supporter, but I despise the guy.
On, no!
I had few.
The orthodox Jews are pretty conservative!
For liberal Jews socialism replaces the Torah.
These types would have paid their own train fare to Auschwitz.
