Nice find OP. I think that two minute video is spot on and sums up how most people feel. I mentioned this in another post, I lived in the part of Jersey where the Cuban "Mariel Boatlift" immigrants took up residence. In the beginning there was a lot of fear mongering and no question quality of life went down. A lot of those immigrants are here 40 years now and many have made good. But many US citizens are initially impacted in a negative way.

What we need is very serious reform. The immigrants have to give back. They need to bring something to the table.

There were no Democrats I knew in the 90s that admitted to being "Leftist", today they are ok with Socialist, Marxist, Anarchist, and Communist being in their party

The truth is the Republican party in many ways has become more liberal in the last 30 years, except for topics like abortion. While the Democratic party has gone full tilt far left.

However Hillary Clinton is responsible for a large portion of why there is such a divide among people now, she has always been divisive, remember at the primary debate when asked who she is proud to have as a enemy and she responded "Republicans"?

I voted for him. He was willing to bend and agree to disagree. Those days are long gone. Now we’re left with dementia Joe and this;:

Bill Clinton was a white supremacist and the little-known brainchild of the ultra-MAGA movement. What ....??? You thought Donald Trump was smart enough to conceive of such a fiendishly brilliant, insidious democracy trap as ultra-MAGA?!! Ppphhht. It's been the Clintons the whole time. Just look at the racism dripping from that unwisely made statement.

Indeed

Hence the reason Obama & Hillary ran away from the left leaning moderation of Bill Clinton. He was the last example of what the (D) party use to represent.
Since then it has been all radical leftist, anti-American culture, anti-police, anti-white, anti-hetero, and pro-criminal, pro-black radicalism, pro-socialist/communist, etc.

The left has gone way off the deep end in the last 20 years. Bill was the last respectable President with a (D) behind his name.

Based on that speech, he would be considered a racist white supremacist by the liberals today.
