Islam and the Zionist Right, by Donald Jeffries

Maybe Trump’s subservient allegiance to Israel is costing Republicans votes. From Donald Jeffries at donaldjeffries.substack.com:

Routing the “Conservatives”

A few days ago, we experienced what is characterized as a “Blue wave” in elections held in places like New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey. Now, this is if you believe they are actually counting the votes. The process is hopelessly corrupted, but I think the alleged results do tell a story of changing demographics and lack of principles.

Zohran Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral race garnered most of the attention. Mamdani is a Muslim, now set to lead a city that has long been associated with Jewish power. He’s a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. As is the case so often with these suddenly famous figures, Mamdani has a connection to show business. His mother is an award winning Bollywood filmmaker.

At least he appears to be addressing issues that impact the lives of those living in America. The high cost of living. Subpar wages. He promised to freeze the rent for poorer residents, and to build affordable housing. He promised free buses and free childcare. Well, the cost of living is outrageous. Donald Trump hasn’t lowered those costs, as he promised to do. When you run a campaign centered on affordability, you’re likely to attract a lot of votes from those who struggle to afford things.
