Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Sunrise, would some of the RJRs have been Democrats prior to the Bush years, or does the "bloc voters but the bloc can swing back and forth" Borough Park set not really fit into this framework?

The left-leaning and right-leaning Jews are moving to the extremes (extreme Jewish left = being Anti-Zionist and also borderline Anti-Jewish culture/religion aka self-haters (an example is Jewish Voice for Peace); extreme Jewish right = illiberal fanatics who identify as Kahanists or Neo-Zionists)

Yeesh. I hope I'm within my rights to say that this sounds like a pretty horrific development.

Are there some apolitical-ish Haredim left or has pretty much everybody started polarizing now?

(I'm asking so many questions about Haredim because I've been thinking about them a lot lately in the context of trying to convince people at my school to take the existence of people who "take the Bible literally" outside the Evangelical/fundamentalist Christian constellation seriously.)

Sunrise, you might be happy to know that I actually know quite a few "aren't that liberal, but don't like Republicans, but, like, love Israel and Jewish stuff!" types at my school, BU, although that's probably not representative because I'm taking several courses in Judaism- and Islam-related subjects.
