I wouldn't doubt if there was a plan among the trump 2016 campaign to divide liberal Jews and conservative Jews, like conservatives have been trying to divide Black people because both groups have historically always been supporters of the Democratic party. If you look at the Republican donor base and its inner circle, it's a multiethnic group of RW billionaires. trump's support of those marching at Charlottesville and his dining with the likes of Fuentes haven't seemed to bother RW Jews within that inner circle. We're being played by RW billionaires. They are loyal to no one but power. They use religion like a cudgel to keep us at each other's throats. Cynical of me I know.

Tracy, you write: " We're being played by RW billionaires. They are loyal to no one but power. " I agree, and this is fairly well documented: "What's the Matter with Kansas?" by Thomas Frank. Project 25 is a pure case of establishing an anti-democratic oligarchy here. The extremely wealthy have found that it is fairly easy to sucker in the white Americans with wedge issues: abortion, race, women's rights, gay rights, immigration, etc. It's tragic that those folks are so ill informed and clueless.
