According to Wikipedia, Islam is the third largest religion at 1.1% at about 3.5 million people. Compared at Judaism is at 2.07% at about 7.5 million people.

On the issue of supporting Israel for their horrible acts on the regions surrounding them, morality aside and by just looking at the numbers, if you get 100% of the Muslim American support, you would need about 2 million Jewish Americans to break even.

Which I think is more doable than ignoring the Muslim American population and hoping 47% of the Jewish American vote offsets the 3.5 million Muslim American vote.

Also if they have to appease the corrupt war companies that fund the party, just send the weapons to Ukraine.

I saw a poll 3~6 months ago finding israel is ranked like the 4th issue for American Jews. The overwhelming majority don't care about it enough to change their vote for it. They certainly won't vote for Trump over a Democrat arms embargo on israel.

That's interesting and happy to hear that.

Considering that the KKK endorsed Trump, their only option is either voting third party or not voting if they decide not to vote Democrat.
