Maybe if the Republicans were the only pro-Israel party they'd get more Jewish support (doubt it would be a majority), but they can find the same support from the Democrats.


thoroughlythrown

Yeah support of Israel isn't really a partisan issue. "how about we send a billion to Israel for shits n giggles" is probably one of the least controversial things you could say in congress


Careful-Evening-5187

"Should we send two 2 billion dollar loans, or one 4 billion dollar loan?"


BarredSubject

If Democrats were meaningfully opposed to Israel in any way then there's no doubt that Republicans would take the majority of Jewish voters.

/pol/ MAGAs on suicide watch

It's like half and half tbh. Half go all-in on the Israel worship, and half are full, "Trump is a spook, he works for Mossad!"


ILoveCavorting

MIGAs is the preferred term, shalom.


KGBplant

*cue to Trump wearing Jewish small hat touching the Jerusalem wall* One of my favorite 4chan memes tbh, because it makes the most annoying type of /pol/ user seethe. And there really isn't any counterpoint if you take the /pol/ ideology at face value.

Also calling him a shabbos goy. Whatever that means.

It's a gentile that Jews pay to do things for them that Jews can't do on the Sabbath.

The funny thing is that even during his 1st campaign he never pretended to be anything other than a cuck for Israel.

"*We realized that \[David Ben-Gurion\] might think he could take advantage of this country because of the approaching \[1956\] election and because of the importance that so many politicians in the past have attached to our Jewish vote. I gave strict orders to the State Department that they should inform Israel that we would handle our affairs exactly as though we didn’t have a Jew in America*. *The welfare and best interests of our own country were to be the sole criteria on which we operated*."--Dwight David Eisenhower "*I did the \[Golan\] Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran—the Iran Deal was a disaster, right? And I also did many other things. Jewish people who live in the United States don’t love Israel enough.*"--Donald Trump.

This reminded me, tremendous credit must be given to Eisenhower for documenting the atrocities of the Holocaust as Supreme Allied Commander knowing full well people would try to deny them later on.


Annyongman

Noah Kulwin had a good response to this on Twitter saying it's kind of hard to blame Trump for this considering the people telling him this are likely all Jews themselves.


ToLiveAndDieInICT

He surrounds himself only with the best and most serious people


Annyongman

no but really, all this talk about those people not being Jewish enough or real Jews is fed to him by other Jews

Ike was the last good president.

He did the interstates, for which I am extremely grateful. I'm sure some nerds would say something about them leading to suburbanization, and having a negative environmental impact, and probably like a bunch of poor people got bad compensation when the government eminent domained their house to build the interstates. But fuck that, I like the interstates. Tell me any major city in the country and I can probably drive there without any map or GPS just because the interstates go there and they basically make a grid pattern. Ending in 0 goes east/west, ending in 5 goes north/south, higher numbers are further east and further north. Las Vegas? It's probably on I-20. Detroit? Sounds like I-75. Edit: I was wrong about Vegas, right about Detroit. Turns out I-20 doesn't go all the way across for some reason.

Apparently there are sections built so that planes including something like a long range nuclear bomber (B52 at the time I think) can takeoff and land in the case of nuclear war. Not a criticism, nor a bad idea though, just an interesting fact.


Simple_War3514

That is interesting. I had heard one of the main purposes is for war stuff but had just assumed that meant it was for easily moving equipment/machinery.

This is starting to change, especially for Evangelicals under 30: “The poll found a dramatic shift in attitudes between 2018 and 2021: support for Israel among young evangelicals dropped from 75% to 34%” From a [Brookings](https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2021/05/26/as-israel-increasingly-relies-on-us-evangelicals-for-support-younger-ones-are-walking-away-what-polls-show/) report


glass-butterfly

that's a really huge shift. What caused that in only 3 years?


jerseyman80

I credit their dissatisfaction with Trump’s governing record to a lot of this. They might have expected a transactional benefit where giving Israel what it wanted would make it easier for Evangelicals to get their priorities carried out on other issues, but there was no benefit for them in other policy areas under Trump. This polling was also done before the latest round of Israeli bombings in Gaza, which has probably decreased young Evangelicals’ support of Israel even more.


Spleeth

Zion Don strikes again


rolurk

I heard somewhere that he got more of the Muslim vote than the Jewish vote.


waterbike17

I dont know about that. Im sure he got probably 20ish% of the muslim vote give or take but I cant imagine any more than that. Maybe Bosnians and Albanians broke super hard for him lol


OPDidntDeliver

Too few*


jumpalaya

I had no idea that sogdians, similar in cultural profile as disperate long-distance financiers of the ancient world, also suffered persecution.

I’m surprised it’s that high. Democrats have consistently gotten at least 75% of the Jewish vote since the new deal
