For years, Republicans’ attitudes towards Israel were dominated by evangelicals’ affection for Israel. Has that changed? Marjorie Taylor Greene used the word “genocide” in describing Israel’s assault on Gaza. And, in general, young Republicans are less willing to support the Jewish state unquestioningly, leading to a slow but steady decline in GOP support. At home, many Republicans have embraced the building of a detention site for illegal immigrants in the Florida Everglades they gleefully call “Alligator Alcatraz”; the party even flogs branded caps and t-shirts. But here too, not all Republicans are happy, and Donald Trump’s overall approval rating on immigration has plunged into negative territory. |
