Antisemitism by age

I always remember the quote from Mark Twain
"Youth is wasted on the young"

I would have thought the lefties would be higher than the Trumpies, to be honest, just because of Gaza.
I was only joking

Aren't true Trumpies pure evil?

I've never been somebody who said that. As is well known I think Trump himself is a complete twat, but I think the reason people support and vote for other people is complicated. I feel much the same way about the people who protest about Gaza, and they're generally written off by conservatives as being anti-semitic.

No, just repulsive in virtually all respects. Not unlike Ferengi aliens in Star Trek Next Generation series.

Antisemitism, racism, sexual assault, freedom - and a glob of other words need to be defined before being discussed. Many regard ANY criticism of Israel's efforts in Gaza or Lebanon as antisemitic - which puts not an insignificant number of American Jews into the antisemitic camp.

Though the question was pretty straightforward if you look at the graph label. I would hope/imagine they had a ‘neither’ option.
Yup - didn't enlarge the graph large enough to read the question.
One explanation for the youth - and this applies to Jewish American youth as well is how groups get their news. Younger folks rely more on Tik Tok and as I've noted, the news there is a bit more unfiltered - or if you prefer - filtered differently.

There are also plenty of moderate gentiles who wholeheartedly support Israel and the Zionist cause but are not supportive of Netanyahu and the present coalition. That certainly does not make them or me, anti-Semitic. Nor does it make any of my many Jewish friends into self loathing Jews as some self righteous and purportedly pious gentiles have not only suggested, but insisted.
