Funny thing is the Orthodox act the most like the caricatures. "Take a couple minutes out of your day and vote for Donald Trump. He'll improve your life maybe" is the kind of thing I'd say if someone wanted me to parody a Jewish campaign slogan, yet here this Jewish guy is on film unironically blasting it out of a loudspeaker from his car.
It’s not very inspiring, but—and maybe my racism level just isn’t high enough—I’m not sure what makes it quintessentially “Jewish.” The vaguely apathetic fatalism?
To be honest, I think of that as “stereotypically millennial,” or even “stereotypically modern.” It may have started with Jews, but it’s society-wide, now.

I didn't say it was "inspiring". I look at it with some amusement as a window into a foreign culture.
