The nonreligious Jewish lockstep on liberal issues is often breathtaking.
Religiously serious Jews are far less likely to join in this lockstep. They see an order in society that is divinely ordained and aligned with conservative ideals.

What’s nice to see is that the Torah-observant Jews are increasing as a percentage of the Jewish population both in Israel as well as America. Why? Because non-observant Jews are intermarrying, having very few children, and simply forgetting their Jewish identity while the observant ones are doing just the opposite.
Plus, the observant ones are doing outreach (in Hebrew it is called, “kiruv”) with great success. So much so that there are khiloni (secular) parents who have formed groups to combat children from becoming observant. That’s right. Parents who DON’T want their children to become religious. Thanks to God it is a losing battle for them.
And as Jews in Israel become more religious you are seeing the country becoming more conservative (in the largest sense of the word) and rejecting collectivism, which is pro-death in all its forms, and replacing it with the Instructions of Life. This means rejecting abortion, gun control and every other tenant of the Democrat party line.
