Here’s some examples

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “An unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists, and Zionist supremacists has schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation, with the deliberate aim of breeding us out of existence in our own homelands.”

Elon Musk agreed with this statement: “Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”

And why is it that there are a whopping two members of the GOP in all of Congress who are Jewish, while Democrats, by contrast, have 31 Jewish members?

Support for Israel and support for Jews are two completely different things.

I've never understood this argument. Not against jews, but against zionism, which is support for a Jewish state.

It seems like a lazy half veiled anti-semetic position with some vague plausible denability mixed in.

OK, I'll bite. Based on what we know of the Jewish people name one principal the Democratic socialist party stands for the Jewish faith or culture would align with.

I never understood why the Jews favored the Democrats since we are being constantly told that the Republicans are the party of the rich. Many Jews are rich businessmen so I don't get it.

I have never voted based on what was in my own personal interests. I have always voted based on what is good for our country and our citizenry as a whole. I suspect that many if not most Americans vote based on their own personal best interests though and I think that's kind of selfish and anti-American.
IMO, the Democrats were never about the worker. They are about the machine and the unions.

For years, so many workers voted Democrat simply because the bosses voted Republican. It took a while for them to realize the Democrats didn't give a crap about them at all and even less so if they weren't represented by a union.

If finally took Y2K for the mask to come off. When the Democrats sided with Big Tech for their large donations and supported importing millions of H-1B workers from India, it was clear who they supported.

When will American Jews stop voting for Democrats?
Why not ask why they haven't voted for republicans, or why isn't the republican party appealing to them?

What are mainstream positions pushed by Democrats?

Abortion rights, gun control, climate agenda, green new deal, same-sex marriage, universal healthcare.

Curiously enough, none of these ideas are mentioned anywhere in the U.S. Constitution.
Seems like there are a fair number of Republicans who are pretty darn upset that a “few extremists and nut jobs” have been been convicted/imprisoned and held accountable for their actions. I think it’s fair to say a significant part of the Republican base feel the actions of those on 1/6 were benign. I’m more troubled by that assessment/conclusion than the number of “extremists and nut jobs”.

Novel. Blame the events of January 6 on the Party that won the Presidency. While creative, it completely ignores reality.
