T. Values: I think I acknowledged there’s a problem teaching kids this is normal. But I simply disagree as to the character of the republican party. It’s become more diversified but the ethnicities who join are more often used as props to show they’re not anti-whatever. Frum Jews in the party are
like a tiny spec compared to the overall numbers. Most members probably don’t know of their support (though I’m guessing here). The fact that derivatives of Qanon conspiracies have been embraced by the establishment is proof it’s still very white/christian, as well as the ties many of the insurrectioinists have to white supremacy groups – These ARE an indespensable part of Trump’s base. Republican pro-Israel agenda is to further an evangelical proficy, which swung way to the right to throw it in the democrats’ faces that republicans support Israel more. But it’s not for the love of Jews. I meet religious Christians who repsect us but I also meet some who show they don’t. Most but not all of Trump’s Israel policies and ALL of his pro-Israel rhetoric are short-termed provocative measures that can be overturned and have inflamed the other side. I’d rather Israel be helped quietly without being tossed around like a football. I hope Biden will llive up to that. If you disagree on my characterization of the party then let’s leave it at that because we’re probably not going to make headway.
