"...The blowback [from Vance's comments] stood out to us because Vance’s sentiments didn’t sound as extreme as many people said they found them. In fact, while they may state it less crassly than Vance’s cruel quip, Jewish institutions, leaders & tradition itself often traffic in very similar sentiments and rhetoric. Procreation is associated with community-mindedness and commitment to the Jewish future; failing to procreate, meanwhile, is framed as the epitome of selfishness and hedonism. Jewish authorities in all the major movement...have offered some variation on procreation as the “greatest mitzvah.”
There are a significant number of orthodox and other very right leaning Jews who support the Republican party in part because they believe in the patriarchal vision being offered by christian nationalism, even though the christo-fascists will turn on Jews the second they are in a position to do so.
Useful idiot is always a temp job.
