    Default Will Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Be A Wakeup Call For Jews Who Enable Trump?

    On Saturday morning, a white nationalist walked in to the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, and killed 11 people as of the last count.

    His declared reason for this carnage was a hatred of HIAS, a Jewish organization that advocates for refugees, founded in 1881.

    Trump's small community of jewish followers

    Sadly, this particular type of self-centeredness is one that is endemic to certain elements of the Jewish community, too. Many have watched as the crimes which have been committed against us historically have been, during the Trump administration, repeated against others, while the majority of of Jews in America have been increasingly afforded the status and benefits of conditional whiteness.

    If it hasn’t been clear before, it should be clear now: There is a reciprocal relationship between racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, white nationalism and anti-Semitism.

    Trump has expressed racist sentiments explicitly and repeatedly. White nationalists have the implicit support of Trump and the explicit, out right support of many of his supporters. Anti-Semitism is a sentiment that Trump has touched upon in several of his tweets and in past statements.

    I don't think Trump has to many Jewish followers. They are pretty smart people. They don't follow Trump bullshit as the rightys do. Trump's people are the LCD.

    Jewish-Americans are among the most reliably liberal and Democratic voting demographics in the country.

    What I have been told by Jewish friends, is that most jews have always been uncomfortable with the White Christian Nationalist rhetoric that conservative Republicans and Trump boot-lickers express. It is not illogical at all to see hatred of minorities and hatred of minority religions as a potential risk to Jewish people as well.

    Generalize much? "Jewish" is a religion.

    trump doesn't have many followers of any persuasion. Sure, mainstream Republicans...many of them Jews...voted for him for their own single issue reasons. Tax cuts. Supreme Court. Whatever the reason, ultra religious Jews tend to vote Republican, while mainstream Jews who tend to be more lax in their religious beliefs tend to vote Democrat.

    Your unsourced and unverified graphic depicts a record of "reliably" voting for losers 60% of the time.

    I doubt that you have any religious friends of any persuasion, creep.

    My friends in local law enforcement tell me that several women have obtained injunctions and orders of protection against you, so there's that.

    Do they require religion on voter rolls? I wasn't aware. But...this is a complex issue. NY is infested with an ultra religious sect of Jewish people who vote as a block. Sure...they tend to lean conservative because of their strict religious beliefs, but they tend to vote for the candidate who will funnel them the most money.

    Cuomo is owned by them. When Clinton ran for the Senate, the last thing Slick Willy did on the way out of the White House was to pardon a couple of jailed rabbis who misused millions of dollars of taxpayer money. Clinton got the block vote, even though she didn't really need it.

    The demographic trends for determining trends in religious group voting is determined in the same way that trends in racial voting are: by scientific polling. Polls tell us that less than ten percent of blacks vote Republicans, and generally less than 25 percent of Jewish Americans vote Republican.

    "Scientific polling?"

    I'm just confused because it's easier to tell who is black, than it is to tell who is Jewish. Unless they note their religion during registration. Or are you saying that pollsters ask religion during exit polling?
