I am talking about Hollywood and Jews that came up from the 20’s to the 60’s (The Golden Age)

The Jews from the 50’s and 60’s were not liberal they were and voted Republican and were part of the Golden Age of Hollywood that is nothing like the Hollywood we have today.

You are simply incorrect.

Most of those Jews you imagine were Republicans were actually Democrats. It’s just that Democrats used to be much more mainstream.

Why would it be surprising that people who are drawn to an entertainment industry, the arts, make believe, are likely to be Liberal?

That’s true for all religious persuasions in such work, not just Jews.

Conservatives are exceptions in that milieu. Period

They are only 2% of the population. During Presidential elections they vote 70% to 80% Democrat. Yes, we can all point to Jewish celebrities or Jewish subgroups that are in that 20% or 30% vote Republican but politics is a numbers game. There are not enough of them to make a difference in a national election although they may impact local elections where they may be more concentrated in certain localities.
Ethnic and racial politics is in the Democrat wheelhouse.
Republicans cannot compete with them in that arena. Republicans are better advised to stay away from courting various ethnic and racial groups and stick with the issues.
