I never understood why most Jewish people vote Democrat. Especially now when there are certified anti Semites in their ranks. Maybe enough will see the light.
Then you need to think about it some more.
“I never understood why most Jewish people vote Democrat. “
Learned nothing from the Holocaust.
I saw the light decades ago. Many Orthodox Jews like me did. Besides the negative events that I sited at the start of this thread, there were the facts. Giuliani was an awesome mayor, though my antipathy towards Dinkins and Clinton and the aftermath of the Crown Heights pogrom were what first drew me to vote for him in ‘91. Furthermore, despite his faults, GWB was a great POTUS. What really clinched the deal, however, was Trump. He belongs on Mt. Rushmore, he is so amazing. Of course, they’d have to include a long, read tie and have his ass sticking out the other side at the foot of the hill, so leftards can kiss it. His irreverent, fun-loving approach to oratory is like a breath of fresh air. His campaign style is reminiscent of the best of Harry Truman in ‘48. I have no doubt that he’s studied him. He is just plain substantively great, and not just for Israel.

Yeh, I don’t get it either, especially when so many conservative Christians here in the US support Israel and Jewish population. I’m Southern Baptist and my church makes at least two trips to Israel per year.
I’ve ask Jew friends that very question. I know two that voted Trump but refuse to vote for him again. Go figure.
God I hope so. Some of my friends are definitely in our camp but then again, they proudly proclaim themselves to be “North Florida Jewish Rednecks”. The KKK are a teeny tiny fringe element and are a joke. They enjoy no real popular support in South Carolina or anywhere else. The level of support they had was always WAY overstated. The real hate for Jews today comes from the hard Left.
The ironic thing is in their values and in the way they actually live their lives, Jews are natural Republicans even if many of them don’t seem to want to recognize it. Strong family values, a great deal of respect for education, a work ethic, low out of wedlock birth rates, etc. Getting more Jews to appreciate the value of the 2nd amendment would be a huge positive step. I do not understand why so many American Jews are hostile to it. Israelis certainly understand and appreciate the need for firearms for self defense.
