I can’t imagine the mindset of any jews who have not yet left the democratic party, even the usual liberals at my shul dont dare speak a word in favor of these people anymore, it is time for jews to stop worshiping the idol of human government and get real, only g-d fearing goyim are capable of supporting jews and eretz yisroel….
