A poll out of New York indicates a seismic shift in the Jewish vote
American Thinker ^ | 02/25/2024 | Andrea Widburg

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. .

Thanks for the link. I’ve seen reports that Black support
is now down to 65% for the democrats.

In the old days, that would have been brutal, but with all
the cheating and illegal aliens, I’m honestly not sure what
to think these days.

I know, the same with Blacks. Will these numbers be born
out in November? I hope so, but it’s good to point out
that we haven’t confirmed it yet.

All of that is why Bi-duh is importing illegals to take up the slack.

They’ll illegally vote for their sugar daddy.

Yes, I was referencing that idea on another thread (perhaps
this one).

At any rate, I sure hope we don’t see these people voting.

I’m almost dead certain some of the are undercover for the
CCP. Do we really want to open the door to that element?

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.

They've long cultivated a Frankenstein coalition of various grievance groups several of whom are diametrically opposed to one another. The only common denominator among these various groups was they were also opposed to regular Americans. It was always only a matter of time before the various factions within their coalition started to go at it. After all, how can you possibly combine:

Jews and Muslims

Muslims and LGBTQ+++++XYZ and whatever other letters they add on tomorrow. Muslims are not down with the tranny agenda. For that matter, neither are Blacks or Hispanics.

Illegal immigrants and working class and poor Blacks who are being displaced in jobs, physically in cities, as well as being crowded out for government spending

Envirowhackos and Labor Unions

"Free trade" and labor unions

Muslims and LBGTQ++++ in the one hand, and Feminazis on the other

Hispanics who are legal residents or American citizens vs illegal aliens.....yes, contrary to what La Raza would lead you to believe, Hispanics oppose a flood of illegal aliens more than others do.

Asians and Jews on the one hand and DEI Leftists on the other. They are outright discriminating against Asians and Jews for school/college admissions and jobs. The latter two groups are rightfully getting pissed about it.

The whole sales pitch of "you should all hate and unite against Whitey" is breaking down.

Campaign contributions is an area in which Jews have outsized influence. Another is simply the intellectual horsepower of the Democrat party. Look at all the Jews in prominent positions. Mayorkas, Garland and Blinken are all Jews. Elena Kagan on the Supreme Court. Chuck Schumer in the Senate. Their election "fixer" Mark Elias. A disproportionate number of Senators and Representatives....think of all those in the media like Chris Wallace, Paul Krugman, Carl Bernstein, Wolf Blitzer, David Brooks, Katie Couric, Thomas Friedman, Ezra Klein, Jennifer Rubin, Geraldo Rivera, Lesley Stahl, Joel Stein, Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper. Do we even need to mention Hollywood? University Profs? Jews punch way above their weight class when it comes to providing brains for the Democrat party.

Democrats probably are losing some stupid black voters.

So they are trying to replace some of those stupid blacks with stupid college students.

If Trump were to get Jews to vote roughly even and 1/4 of Blacks in addition to only being about 2 or 3 points behind with Hispanics, the election will be a Trump tsunami.

We’ve seen false dawns before though. Let’s see if the percentages are anything like this once the ballots have been counted.

“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.

As are the Neocons.....I've been able to make considerable headway with my Nephew who was always antiwar, pro labor, etc. To his credit, he has not been blind to the shift that has happened. I don't think he'll be voting for Democrats again anytime soon.

I hope you are right, but predictions of Jews and blacks shifting away from the Democrats have been made before and not come true. Hispanics are more likely in the longer term to shift away. In some respects, they resemble white Catholics of 60-80 years ago in their culture and work ethic. However, East and South Asians are more likely to be Democrats, and their numbers are increasing due to loose immigration laws.

Seems to happen every two years.

However, things in this country are now much worse than they have been for who knows how long.

Maybe this time, the Democrat coalition really will splinter.

Just a word of caution. I think this was an incredibly small sample-—something like 10 or 11 Jews in an overall sample of 800.

Don’t bank on it, so far the majority of Jewish voters always go back to the RFATS. Hope springs eternal.
