If Cruz managed an HOA, he would definitely force his neighbors to vote for him.

Cruz Calls Out Neighbors for Leaking Cancun Trip Texts: 'Don't Be ***holes'

The Texas senator also said he thought it was "a little rude" that some of his neighbors previously put up campaign signs for his political rival Beto O'Rourke.

As dumb as republicans are I don’t even think they’re buying that. Shut down social media already. This is all it has to offer at this point

Survey: Orthodox Jews, Unlike Other Jews, Vote Just Like White Evangelicals

During the pandemic, there have been two groups of religious people eagerly fighting public gathering restrictions: Evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews.

That shared opposition to sensible health precautions actually tells us something remarkable: While, on the whole, American Jews tend to be quite liberal and vote for Democrats, Orthodox Jews’ politics closely resemble those of white evangelicals instead.


Orthodox Jews, who strictly adhere to traditional teachings, are increasingly voting Republican and spouting familiar conspiracy theories former President Donald Trump has stoked.

…

“Overall, it seems pretty clear that Orthodoxy has shifted toward Trump,” said Mark Trencher, president of Nishma and the study’s lead researcher, noting that among those who voted Republican or Democrat, “there were huge differences.”

…

Up until 2000 — when Democrat Al Gore and his Modern Orthodox running mate, Joe Lieberman, won a large majority of the Orthodox Jewish vote — the Orthodox Jewish vote had historically leaned Democrat. But since then, most Orthodox Jews have migrated to the Republican Party.



Orthodox Jews make up about 10% of the American Jewish population.

While it seems counterproductive for Jews to support Trump, a man who frequently used anti-Semitism in his speeches (regardless of his daughter’s conversion to marry a Jewish man), Orthodox Jews tend to prioritize similar values as the rest of Trump’s evangelical base: they tend to be “pro-life,” against marriage equality, and fiscally conservative.

But as much as Trump and other Republicans claim to “love Israel,” one can’t help but wonder if those same Orthodox Jews are aware of the primary reason evangelicals support the country: to get the Jews back to the Holy Land so Jesus can return sooner. At which they will be sent straight to hell.

We'll all worse off because they support Republicans.

It seems so counter intuitive that very religious Jewish people would vote for a party that is becoming increasingly anti Semitic. But antisemitism in America is largely an outgrowth of white supremacy and settler colonialism. When conservatives talk about “globalists” or “elites” or “New York values,” they mean Jewish academics, lawyers, journalists and entertainers who are seen as undermining racial or gender hierarchies. Very conservative Jews know they are not included in that. Very conservative Jews are invested in the project of white supremacy and settler colonialism.

I think a lot of them believe that Jesus will rapture them away to avoid tribulation. But that God will fulfill his promise to the children of Israel. For some that means an eternal kingdom on Earth, for others it means that Jews finally get around to accepting Christ as their messiah, and get into the club before the final judgment.

Dispensational theology is out there.

They really do think that the rebbe is coming back. If you are in NYC, you'll see them attempting to recruit other Jews to join the flock. I see it on the upper west side often.

Also, look at Orthodox Jews in Israel and the politics they espouse there (conservative, anti-science, etc.) and things makes sense.

Everyone should read the entire thread. The people who drafted this bill are macro-psychotic, and also don't understand how, like, voting laws work.

Racist policy. Cash bailouts helped minorities since they usually like cash and don’t have good credit.
