Is this how American Jews really feel or is this just wishful thinking by a right winger?

Well, Prager himself went through that same journey many years ago, so he may understand it better than most of us.

Well, Dennis is no right winger, by any stretch, but he doesn't seem to be holding out much hope that his fellow liberal Jews will see the light in any substantial numbers as he ends this piece with uncharacteristic realism:

"But the liberal Jew is inexcusably naive about the Left, nearly all of whose positions have nothing in common with liberalism, not to mention with the Torah. Maybe some will repent. But don't bet on it."

The one ray of light that I see is tiny, but real. There have been a lot of new Jewish gunowners in the past month. People living in places like Santa Monica, Marin, Thousand Oaks, and the like who were loudly and unapologetically hostile to gun rights have found themselves in gun stores, and are confronting the annoying hurdles that California puts in front of law-abiding gun owners. "What do you mean I have to wait 10 days to pick up my pistol? I need it NOW!" And they're learning about other blue state's restrictions as well. Things that were thought to affect only flyover country have suddenly come home to roost, and the reality can be a big splash of cold water. Some of those folks are going to have their eyes opened in other areas as well, all of which will do some damage to the Democrat coalition.

Probably not so much with regard to votes, most live in solidly blue areas anyway. But we might see some shifts in fundraising patterns that will prove more difficult for the Democrat machine over time. We can hope.
