[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Found it. The video is well-researched and well-supported.  The creator is not pushing any partisan view here.

But he does expose a foreign (likely Russian) disinformation operation against the USA:

Russia has been spending millions and has entire office complexes full of people whose job it is to sow discord online.  They distort, fabricate, attack, do whatever they can to make both sides look bad in order to drive divides and to weaken America.  And Russia isn't the only country doing this, and America isn't the only target.  They can't beat us fairly so they are trying to weaponize us against each other.  I see quite a bit of it going on - with the same tactics, same talking points, and when confronted with facts and logic, or when cornered and asked to provide a credible source for their claims they just ignore or move on to something else.  Happens quite a bit here on DCUM too.  Likely not all of it is foreign actors, some are snotty disingenuous partisans as well, who see those tactics and repeat them rather than break the cycle and reject it.

I think that Democrats pro-globalism stance is part of the problem though.   They don't articulate plans that are clearly in American's interest.  They may make some macro arguments, "growth is good", "trade is good".  Biden's immigration policy "Trust me I'm not Trump."  They prefer to see America as a "Welcoming" country where we take any and all guests.[/quote]
