Not being Jewish, I can only be a spectator to what's happening but I imagine it's going to be somewhat traumatic for some.
You see, many Jews are very left wing, as well as being (naturally) proud of their Jewish heritage: No group has, given their numbers, produced so many outstanding talents in music, art, writing, movies, science and law. It used to be easy to choose a party: Both major parties had small numbers of anti Semites among their members, but one party was to the left and one to the right. Now it's not so easy: The left wing party is clearly the one which harbors a larger contingent of anti Semites and the right wing party has become economically more aligned with the working class.
Logically, Jews ought to be Republicans now--they are the workers party and they are pro Jewish and pro Israel. Old habits die hard and I expect there will be some acrimony.
Added: I put a laugh emoji by a Facebook post which claimed (laughably) that Harris is a friend and protector of Jews.
The response:
All I can say is "good riddance". Only a colossal asshole would come to that conclusion, instead of the obvious and charitable one (which is how you act around everyone, but especially friends), that Harris isn't somebody Jews ought to trust.
Added: If he's invoking the holocaust as justification for choosing Harris over Trump, it isn't me mocking the holocaust. The guy needs to get himself a mirror.
