“On immigration, I am more referring to an attitude towards immigrants generally and especially illegal immigrants rather than policy proposals.”
Then your point has nothing to do with how people should vote. If your neighbor used a racial slur, it should bother you, but it shouldn’t make you feel like you need to vote the opposite of how he votes. Also, illegal immigrants are law breakers. People who respect the law are not going to take kindly to being told they can’t criticize law-breakers. They absolutely deserve animosity. I will say that proudly for the rest of my life.
People on any religious-right are going to like rules and discipline. People on the political left don’t. Orthodox Judaism’s tendency to vote Republican might further be amped up by socioeconomic reasons. I read the medium income for MO families is 150K… You aren’t exactly going to find a lot of Bernie supporters in that bracket.
