Still a small overall share of the population. Think of the voting patterns as a proxy.
Not in NYC. In greater New York, yes. It is a small portion of the population. But in NYC, they all generally vote GOP and conservative as a block, and they are a significant voting block at that. Between Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens Italians, Orthodox Jews and a few others with common sense, we elected Giuliani twice and damned near beat Dinkins the first time. He won by just 2% despite all the fake polls, favorable media coverage and ballot box stuffing, not to mention the fact that he was a “first”. After four years of him, even that wasn’t enough, and Giuliani squeaked by into office once, and four years later won a landslide. And now Eric Adams is in, and he may just save the city from the leftard destroyers that have brought it to the brink. With enough thanks to Orthodox Jews along with the fed up blacks, Ricans, police and Italians that he decided to postpone the public ceremony out of respect and gratitude. Fortunately, as has been explained here by others better-informed than myself, this did not extend the DeBlasi-an reign of (t)error by a mili-second.
