An emotionally and morally disturbed fraction of the country is behind this "shift".

They aren't our culture and they aren't our values. They behave like they imagine the barbarian hordes (immigrants) behave. The vast majority of Americans don't want what they try to force down our throats.

One honest, hard working brown man or woman equals one-hundred of these home-grown fascists.
