From FDR to "From the River to the Sea": How Democrats Lost the Jews
How did the Democratic Party lose American Jews? For 80 years, Jewish voters were the most reliable Democratic constituency—backing FDR, JFK, and every president since at rates approaching 90%. Today, that alliance is collapsing. Democrat support for Israel has plummeted 30 points in just three years. Jewish voters are fleeing to Republicans in record numbers. What happened?
In this episode, John O'Connor breaks down the complete timeline: The Squad's arrival and open antisemitism. October 7th and the progressive response. Campus protests that turned violent. Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush losing their primaries. The ideological shift that made supporting Israel disqualifying on the left.
This is the story of political betrayal, campus chaos, and one of the most dramatic realignments in modern American politics.
