I have a Jewish in-law who is adamantly pro Trump in an extended family of mostly Democratic Jews. We all have an unspoken rule not to talk politics around this guy. His overriding issue is Israel; he only supports politicians who are wholeheartedly pro Israel and rabidly anti Muslim (he actually refers to Obama as “Hussein”). Nothing else matters to him. I will never understand how he is willing to embrace fascism here in return for support of a country he’s never even lived in. BTW, his brother is even worse; he was a proud member of the Trump administration.
