Perhaps they don’t consider them enemies, or they vote for what they believe to be the lesser of two evils?

The explanations I've heard fall into two basic catagories:

1. Many Jews live in urban settings. They think that liberalism passifies populations that would, under conditions of widespread unrest and social breakdown, target Jews for attack.
2. Many Jews living in wealthy industrialized western countries are not "religious." They are also highly conscious of their spirtual and cultural heritage. The tension between these two facts creates in them a sense of angst, of spiritual "wrongdoing," that they try to expiate by accepting, embracing, promoting, and funding liberalism, which they see, consciously or otherwise, as a secular substitute for the good works that are promoted by organized religious institutions. By doing this, they innoculate themselves against existential angst.

How realistic either of these are in fact, I don't know. They at least offer a starting point for discussion.

Then why is traditional American culture viewed as the greater of two evils?

that is the question
