I heard a great explanation for why Jews are historically liberal in the USA...it’s because the right is historically Christian and the Jews are afraid of becomming Christians. Makes sense. They are siding with the wrong side, however.
As I often note, not all Jews are smart.
The explanation I've been told is that when first coming to this country they encountered a lot of prejudice and as they became successful were excluded from the "trappings" of that success by conservative WASP's. Unfortunately, they don't realize that the Evangelical Christians are not the conservatives of old.
“it’s because the right is historically Christian and the Jews are afraid of becomming Christians.”
Absolute bolderdash. Never met a single Jew who was “afraid of becomming Christian.”
The issue has more to do with being North Eastern urban than anything.
