Actually, the anti-Semite wrote a blatantly false comment. The notion that there is a Jewish groupthink which overwhelmingly covers members of that religion by grouping them on the left is blatantly false. In fact, religious people tend to be conservatives, and irreligious people leftists. Jews are defined by matrilineal descent; as such, someone whose mother is Jewish but who him-or-herself is a wholly irreligious atheist would still be called Jewish, yet their lives have precisely nothing to do with religion. This differs entirely from other religions wherein, for example, someone born to a Christian family who becomes an atheist is not considered Christian anymore.
Fact is, religious Jews are, statistically speaking, conservatives. Irreligous people are, statistically speaking, far left. It is only because of the anomaly I just explained that the statistics are skewed when it comes to those who are identified as Jews.
That's a big point here, but not the only relevant one. There are other groups which skew left far more spectacularly - AAs, for example, although they are beginning to move noticeably in the right direction, at least the males, anyway. At the same time, acting as if AAs - even female AAs, who really are around 95% on the left - are a group, instead of individuals, is simply wrong. That sort of approach of treating individuals as subservient to the group instead of each one as his/her own individual self is precisely what the left does, and is totally unacceptable for anyone who considers himself a conservative, patriotic American. And certainly Douglas Murray and Jordan Peterson (neither one American, but that matters little in this context) would agree with every word I just wrote.
