And they're hardly out of step with the current iteration of the Democratic Party. And it just feels just all wrong. They force up crocodile tears over these valiant, noble immigrants and they have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to comment on the effects upon low-wage Americans adversely affected by this immigration.
They look down on poor people, particularly poor people who don't vote the way they want. As you said, all those racist, xenophobic deplorables. In a million years, I never thought the Party would ever come to this, where the folks in charge have no affinity for the lower class.
