Perhaps we have reached peak liberalism. One can only hope. Just as many Blacks and other minorities are realizing that Democrats see them only as votes, it seems that many Jews are experiencing a similar awakening. As far as expressing gratitude, Jews may have the same problem as Blacks. How do you say "Uncle Tom" in Hebrew"? While individual Jews may have had the scales fall from their eyes, they still have to deal with family, friends and their community who may not be so enlightened.

A 180° turn from multi-generational ingrained beliefs doesn't happen overnight. But eventually, dawn breaks, and I believe that with Jews it will break sooner than later. As their children and grandchildren are mobbed, spit upon and treated like pariahs at universities with no reprisals for the aggressors, the older generation will come to realize that this is not some passing fad, and that they had best recognize that their so called allies never had their best interests at heart. At that point, the massive funding of liberal organizations by Jews will drop like a bad penny. In the words of the immortal Jerry Jeff Walker: Every drop of water shapes the stone.

I don't claim to speak for all conservatives but as far as I'm concerned, praise and recognition would be nice but are not at all necessary. A change of mind and a flight from the dark side would be a far more appreciated. No need to become a raving MAGA Trumper, just do the right thing at the ballot box.
