Similar to how American Jews vote in and advocate for the interests of Israel and to get these two voting blocs politicians have to keep this in mind and make sure these interests are taken care of.

In other words, you're basically saying that civil nationalism doesn't work well, and that humans always end up voting for their "tribe".
Sadly, I think you're correct.

We all know this is nothing but a distraction, something to rile up the Hannity/Coulter contingency.

You expect them to stand with people that don't respect them, and would wish nothing more for them to be gone.
