Orthodox Jews in america OVERWHELMINGLY support Trump.
the current Zionist (Nazi) Israel doing a genocide on Palestine
--- End quote ---
The excellent book Jewish History, Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak concisely puts this in perspective (and it is less than 200 pages long).
As long as the Orthodox have significant political power in Israel there will never be acceptance of Palestinians in Israel - and that is based on the Orthodox definition of what "Israel" is.

It's a good book, fohat.
In the human world, if you don't do a genocide, no one takes you seriously. That's been the model every empire, including America, followed since records began.
Unfortunately, Nature will genocide all of mankind, soon, very soon, because we're not taking climate change seriously.

There is no doubt that he is mindless and incoherent.
Educated and rational people cannot bear to listen to it.
The best way to think about it is as his followers resembling the dog in this cartoon.
Their minds are generally disengaged but will respond momentarily to triggers, cheering, not necessarily only to "dog whistles" but also simply to words and phrases that have been repeated enough times to become recognizable and embedded.

The comedy is on point, but one MUST emphasize.
Democrats / Harris will do nearly the EXACT same things Trump is doing/did going forward.
- Expand Economy (burn more fossil fuels).
- Produce more Fossil Fuels (We've become #1 oil producer under Biden). Harris wants to expand further, she walked back on fracking, and now fully endorses it. Cornell study just came out, fracking is WORSE THAN COAL, due to un-avoidable methane leakage across the production stack.
- Increase Military Spending, Harris unambiguously said she will do that during her Debate closing. The American military collectively is by far the #1/#2 carbon footprint on the planet, next to animal agriculture.
Neither has committed truly to any semblance of carbon reduction.
- Electrification is just kicking the can down the road, the Fossil fuel burned INTO electrical infrastructure, but NET-emissions will continue to increase over the next 30 years. 30 years we don't have.
Like I said, just pick 1, they're equally bad.
Trump = lower risk of war in the short term
Harris = larger risk of war in the short term
Those are the only relevant differences, but it is slight, they're both marching us towards conflict.
