147: Nothing in American history suggests that religious persecution and harassment would lead to large scale pogroms or death camps. It might lead to us moving elsewhere, probably to one of the more conservative countries. A fact to consider is that many Christian groups are being subjected to similar persecutions (so perhaps one impact might be a movement, already happening, of frum Jews moving out of New York to “red” states, rather than to a foreign country (particularly since the conservative countries tend to be very poor such as in Africa or persecute frum Jews such as those run by zionists or Muslims). Also remember that most anti-semitism (defined as persecuting orthodox Jews) comes from secular Jews, and secular Jews are very concentrated in the “blue” states – a “holcaust” would have to come from goyim and we get along fairly well with American goyim.
