For almost a century, there has been one constant in American politics: Jews vote for Democrats. There are multiple reasons for this fact but, regardless of the reason, the one thing Democrats could rely on was the Jewish vote. However, the Biden administration’s increasingly open hostility to Israel may be changing that pattern. One poll out of New York shows something remarkable: More than 50% of New York’s Jews plan to vote for Donald Trump!
When Eastern European Jews came to America, they were escaping tsarist oppression. For them, the opposite of tsarism was Marxism. This binary viewpoint wasn’t unique to them. In pre-WWII England, a lot of the British upper class did the opposite, siding with fascism because they believed it was the only bulwark against communism.
Except for people like Oswald Mosley and his wife, Diana Mitford, and the latter’s brother, Tom, and sister, Unity, most Brits quickly recovered from this delusion once WWII started.
In America, though, by the 1930s, Jews had made the same journey that blacks did, finding what they thought was their permanent political home with the Democrats. The Republican party was seen as the party of antisemitism and, especially after WWII, Democrats played on that visceral fear.
Few Jews, even the ones who escaped from or survived the Holocaust, made the connection between Hitler’s socialism and the rising socialism of the Democrat party. The inability to see this link—and this was true despite Karl Marx’s openly expressed antisemitism or Stalin’s Jewish purges—kept Jews tied to Democrats.

American Jewish fealty to Democrats was strengthened over the generations by the Jewish fealty to college degrees. .

Suuuuurrrree they are,
The spike in New York Jewish voters backing Trump has come in the wake of the murderous Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, with antisemitic hate crimes and anti-Israel protests surging in New York City.

The latest polls demonstrate a shift in the New York Jewish vote that is a “clear trend, long in the making,” Sam Markstein, national political director for the Republican Jewish Coalition, wrote on X.
Markstein cited Lee Zeldin’s failed 2022 gubernatorial race, with the former Long Island Representative receiving 46% of the Jewish vote after campaigning on defending yeshivas amid heightened scrutiny and bashing the state’s criminal justice reform laws.
It will be fun watching Joe walk this tightrope.
47% plan to vote for dims or worse??? Good Lord, how dumb can they be?
Blacks are jumping ship.
Hispanics have had enough.
Jewish citizen are seeing more clearly these days.
Took everyone long enough, but the democrats are in a deep
world of hurt. They’ve jumped the shark.
in terms of numbers of votes, the Jews are not a large group, but they have a disproportionate influence on the cultural, AND i read in one place that they account for 53% of Democrat campaign donations ...
That’s even a better % than Lee Zeldin got. Now if we can get another 10% of blacks voting Republican it will be much harder for them to cheat.
We’ve heard this song before but given the shocking anti semitism seen since Oct 7 I think many Jewish people may have gotten a wake up call finally and this might reflect reality for once.
LOL
It has to do with recent events in the Middle East. Biden giving big bucks to Iran and not talking correctly about Israel. Welcome aboard if so.
Hard to imagine that “modern day” Brooklyn would support Trump, but it could happen.
“Media Class Will Ignore” New Poll That Shows Black Voter Support For Trump Rising
“The Republican party was seen as the party of antisemitism “
You know, a funny thing happened to those WASP establishment Republicans who didn’t want Jews in their prep schools and country clubs... their grandkids are all woke Democrats now.
Great reply.
Contrary to popular belief conservatives have a lot more children than liberals.
Data on the U.S. birth rate from the General Social Survey a random sample of 100 conservative adults will raise 208 children, while 100 liberal adults will raise a mere 147 kids. This has been going on for at least 20yrs.
It’s why the Democrats are importing so many welfare-dependent voters via illegal immigration.
The steal will be double-extra bad this time around.
I will believe this when the receipts are available.
People are always making similiar claims and it almost never materializes sufficiently(key word).
Demographics is stll destiny.
Will blacks and Jews ever come out of their stupor?
Or will they continue to drink the leftist Kool Aid until the democrats complete their destruction of America?
I doubt very much they will ever wise up.
