Hating Democrats
R.S. McCain is looking at the Jew hating faction of the Democrat Party. And like any good reporter he picks a particularly ugly example for our entertainment and enlightenment.
But history intrudes.
Nazi Germany is now history. And so is the interregnum it brought to Jew hating. Jew hating in America peaked in 1944. It was so virulent among Republicans that my mother has never forgiven them despite the train wreck that is the current Democrat Party.
Which is why, despite Jews earning like Episcopalians, they vote like Puerto Ricans.
Hatred has consequences that often far outlive the hatred. "Unto the tenth generation....." I believe is the rule of thumb.

Ah, that explains it. I knew about the old-time Progressive/conservative distaste for Jews, but never thought to link that to modern voting habits.
Tradition like that is a tough thing to overcome.
