The reason for the support matters.
A lot of them think support for Israel leads to the apocalypse and Jesus’s return. It doesn’t end well for the Jews in that story.
- parineum 5mo agoNow you're confusing maga with evangelicals which are very different parts of the party. Evangelicals have largely lost influence in a post Roe world. Trump had to cater to them in his first term but, since he's taken over the party, they're in the backseat.

- parineum 5mo agoTrump got evangelicals to vote for him because he promised to appoint supreme court justices who would overturn roe. Evangelicals, as a group, no longer have a cohesive political goal. They don't have influence because the collective isn't asking for anything. Their influence was all based on being a large group of single issue voters you could get on your side with little effort.
- ryandrake 5mo agoAmong USA evangelicals, support for Israel (and specifically the country’s belligerence) has notably little to do with Judaism itself or the Jewish people.
