Why do almost all Jewish people vote Democrat?

In the past: They were union-friendly, identified as a persecuted minority who Dems supported in the Civil Rights movement, gratitude to FDR and Truman for defeating the Nazis.

Later: Their secular beliefs conflicted with the GOP’s religious turn, and as well educated cosmopolitan urbanites and suburbanites, Trump’s GOP is anathema to them.

Haredi Ultra-Orthodoz Jews, are, yes very Republican. They’re also pretty isolated from the rest of the world. They are essentially the Jewish version of Amish people.

Modern Orthodox are far less Republican than Haredi, but still more conservative than most Jews. They’re more assimilated. They do tend to strongly support Netanyahu and are very hawkish on foreign policy. They were pro-Bush and anti-Obama, but they’re less loyal to Trump. A lot of them broke with him on his handling of Charlottesville and are critical of how he responded to the Pittsburgh shooting.

Conservative and Reform nowadays are virtually identical politically. The difference is more theological, that Conservatives practice some religious traditions that Reformers have abandoned. They’re liberal, live secular lifestyles, and highly dovish. They love Obama and hate Trump, and have been souring on Netanyahu for several years. They have been more willing to criticize Israeli policy regarding the Palestinians and its treatment of non-Orthodox diaspora. Though none of them want Israel to stop existing, despite what many on the right say. However Israel is far less important to them than it is to more religious Jews. Their key policy issues are largely domestic, include welcoming immigrants and refugees, supporting LGBTQ rights, and passing stricter gun control laws.

Also, orthodox Jews vote overwhelmingly Republican. There are pockets of dark red in Brooklyn from 2016.

Orthodox are far less monolithically Republican than Reform or even Conservative are Democratic.
