We have a disconnect between the populist policy experts trying to build a New Right economic vision and the populist voters that elected Trump in 2024.

With American Jews, there are two factors acting at the same time - one is of course DEI. But just as strong is the dilution of the blood stock. Outside the modern orthodox or even more frum streams, there is 50% outmarriage per generation since at least 1960s. So even with people who are by definition halachically Jewish (maternal grandmother ticks the box) a lot are just 50% or even just 25% in terms of DNA.

Obviously, this is different with Israeli Jews because of much less outmarriage.

Yes! I'm a HUGE Amy Chua fan--- I keep a copy of her novel The Golden Gate checked out from the library just so I can have a little Chua in my living room.

A lot of women really dislike Ms. Chua, another reason she makes me all heart-skippy.

I'll always pronounce her name as one syllable, CHWAH.

The letter "vav" is by its nature an ambiguous semivocal - sometimes it is "v", sometimes a very short "u" as in w, and sometimes an "o" or a "u"
