Jews traditionally lie low in politics, because we are happy and thankful that we are allowed to practice our religion in peace and we are not looking to shake things up. There's another reason why this is hurtful to us. Here's a quote from רב אלי' ברודני written in the Yated (in regard to the NY Yeshiva guidelines fiasco).
"It also probably does not help that our people are unabashed supporters of President Trump. That doesn’t work favorably for us in local politics. About 95 percent of us live in progressive blue states where President Trump is a pariah. So while we must daven for shlomah shel malchus, and while we have tremendous hakaras hatov for what the president does for individuals or what he does for the yishuv in Eretz Yisroel, we have to understand the reality that all politics is local."
