Please explain to everyone why the Dems have 30 members in Congress that are jews, and the Republicans only 4.
You think you're making a point, but you're not.
100% of the Jewish folks in Congress could be democrats, and the left could still be full of antisemites.The stats don't support your empty statements, unless you're narrowly selective and don't look at the overall picture - which some people do and simply wave their hand at all else.
"Recent studies indicate that while antisemitism exists across the political spectrum, antisemitic attitudes have historically been found to be more prevalent on the political right among the general US public, though incidents linked to the far-left have surged recently, particularly those tied to anti-Israel activism."
That sounds right, confirms what many have said here and my views.
"Key Findings from Recent Data (2024-2025)
Overall Attitudes: For a long time, research suggested that mainstream liberals and conservatives held the lowest levels of antisemitism, with higher rates among those with no ideological orientation.
However, a 2021 YouGov survey commissioned by Tufts University found that respondents on the right were more likely than those on the left to believe longstanding antisemitic stereotypes, such as Jews having too much power.https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/conser..."Authoritarianism/Conspiratorial Thinking: Some research suggests that a better predictor of antisemitism is not the right-left dichotomy, but rather an adherence to conspiratorial worldviews and authoritarian tendencies, which can be found at both ends of the political spectrum."
All the nutters muttering about George Soros from the US I've known have been right wing. But the far left has conspiracy theorists. IIRC you talked about one conspiracy theory, but I can't remember which one.
"Overall, traditional antisemitic stereotypes have been found to be more common on the right, but the recent surge in antisemitic incidents has been largely driven by expressions of anti-Jewish sentiment within far-left anti-Israel activism."
But in Dope world the opposite is true.
