The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Add in the contingencies of history (Democrats have long been the party of urban areas, and immigrating Jews landed in and mostly remained in urban areas), and you've got a potent mix of reasons why American Jews are Democrats.

Also,

1) Post WWII fascism and anti-semitism was a sentiment primarily expressed by Republicans. The newly formed John Birch Society group in my childhood neighborhood invited my Catholic father to attend their meetings, not knowing his Jewish father died on Krytsallnacht while my father and uncle were out in the streets defending their neighborhood from marauding fascists. My Dad and surviving relatives smelled the JBS "from a mile away."

jta.org - John birch society charged with contributing to anti semitism

2) The vast majority of brutal attacks on Jews in the US are perpetrated by right wing extremists, AKA those 'fine people' Trump lauded on the Nazi side of the line in Charleston.
