TV: “At the end of the day, whatever is attracting you to the democrats, overrides the horrific culture they are bringing America to??”

I guess so. I would still vote for specific republicans (and have in the past) but I generally trust the democratic party at this point in history to provide the long-termed stability we all need. And I would hope more people with traditional family values support them in order to center the party. Yes, the GOP is more diverse but they’re still not there. And the black men who voted for Trump overwhelingly voted for a personality, don’t expect to see them at the next GOP convention. The fact that the majority of republicans remained silent with the attempt to baselessly overthrow the election (in my educated opinion) is dangerous, and this should frighten Jews. To support the party I’d have to see a sincere renumciation. I’d also want to see the party move away from Trump’s cult of personality. We think he loves us, but he only “likes” any person or group who obeys him, and once you’re on that train it never ends (…pen yifteh l’vavchem . . .elohim acheirim).
So yes, I’d rather lose some policy battles than to wake up one day and find I am being ruled by a totaliatarian government. The fact that republicans would might happen to like or accept religious Jews would be of limited solace, because it could happen the other way too, as it has many times in history.
