Actually, there’s one thing I would add, Sarah: The Trump campaign (and this convention) has clearly signaled that the 2020 race will be fought in part on issues of culture. There’s a version of that “culture war” that focuses on “cancel culture” and stuff like that, and my bet would be that that’s more electorally promising than a culture war revolving around systemic racism and police brutality. But … IDK, maybe that’s wrong?

Rabbi Aryeh Spero, who is now giving the opening prayer, is the author of a book titled “Push Back: Reclaiming the American Spirit.” He’s an Orthodox rabbi. It’s a good reminder that while Jews are one of the most solidly Democratic groups, there are Jewish Republicans, and they are much more likely to be religiously conservative.
