It is my humble opinion that a close reading of Jewish History shows that we have usually tried to keep a veneer of impartiality in domestic politics in whatever our host country in Golus happens to be.
However I find it difficult to see how that continues in the United States. The modern day Democrat party has made clear it vies religion as the enemy and people who attempt to live their lives according to their religion as backward.
This would not be so terrible if they would adhere to the time honored American tradition of “live and let live” however they have made clear that they wish to use the Political & Judicial system to attempt to enforce their War on G-D upon us.
-They continue to obligate a typical Jewish family to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars in “taxes” that they can ill afford to support a school system that teaches children beliefs that are the antithesis of the Torah, then under the guise of separation of church and religion they are attempting to ensure that Jewish Private schools have no access to the government money that is a result of taxation of the Jewish population unless we are willing to teach curriculum that is incompatible with a Torah life.
-They continue to attempt to ensure that only those who follow the Moses Mendelssohn & Abraham Geiger model of being a Jew at home and non-jew outside model are allowed to earn a living. In order to have a catering business, bakery, florist or other legitimate business they are attempting to force one to provide services that the Torah outright forbids.
– Whether or not one is a Zionist ( I personally am vehemently not) the facts are the that millions of Acheinu Bnei Yisroel live in Israel and their lives are put at risk by the foreign policy decisions that increasingly becoming in vogue in the Democratic party.
Based on the above it remains to be seen if the Orthodox Jewish community can attempt to remain with a veneer of neutrality in American politics or we will be forced to become political activists to fight for our ability to maintain a Torah life in Golus America.
