All politics is local.
People affiliate with a party based on how it affects their daily life where they live, they don’t affiliate based on national platforms.
The national Republican Party is the antipathy of Family Values. It ran a thrice married serial adulterer for President in opposition to a woman who was the victim of a husband who committed adultery.
Thrice married adulterous white males are common in the Republican leadership, need I mention Mayor Juliani, now personal lawyer for Trump, or Speaker Gingrich?
The Democrats brought us Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act and booming economies under the Roosevelt, Clinton and Obama administrations.
The Republicans brought us the Great Depression of Herbert Hoover, the runaway inflation and 20% interest rates of George HW Bush, the banking crisis and economic collapse of 2008 of George W Bush and have made us the laughing stock of the world and sold out to the Russians, Saudis and Germans by Trump.
Not all frum Yidden are blind and deaf, we refuse to belong or support the party that brought us Trump, Ryan and McConnell.
I’ll not be answering individual posters in this thread, but could not let it go on the way Joseph, the troll, framed it. Enjoy your conversation.
