Circa 1980s.

"Singing is what brought your family together," CNN anchor Anderson Cooper replied. "Yeah," she chuckled.
"So, now that you don't have singing..." Cooper followed.
"Now, I have to be careful because we've had so much taken away from us by this administration that I'm not willing to let them take my family relationships away," Ronstadt continued. "My family -- the parts that are Republican were fairly rational Republicans. We don't have that in our current White House."
It's unclear exactly when the interview took place; the network released clips from the sitdown over the weekend.
The Grammy-winning artist went into detail about the "great parallels" she saw between the rise of Trump and Nazi Germany and how both leaders, according to her, were "uncontrollable."
"By the time he got established, he put his own people in place and stacked the courts and did what he had to do to consolidate his power," Ronstadt elaborated. "And, we got Hitler and he destroyed Germany, he destroyed centuries of intellectual history forward and backward."
Cooper replied, "I think a lot of people, though, would be surprised to hear comparisons between what happened then and now."
"If you read the history, you won't be surprised. It's exactly the same," Ronstadt doubled down. "Find a common enemy for everybody to hate. I was sure that Trump was going to get elected the day he announced, and I said it's gonna be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews. And, sure enough, that's what he delivered, you know."

Based on the recent anti-semitism in the news, I’d say the Jews are the new Jews.
Sorry, Linda, but no one is going around killing Mexicans.
Great voice. Entitled to her opinion. Way off base.
The fact is that no one has done more harm to Mexicans than the corrupt Mexican government, AND, no nation has done more to help Mexicans in the modern era than the US.
She went there?
That AH is really low on my list... And it’s a long one.
What a pathetic idiot.
Lots of Hispanic Americans don’t want millions of illegal coming here and taking their jobs either. I’m guessing this interview is more than a year old...
Agreed. Considering she dated Jerry Brown in her younger days this attitude is not surprising.
That narrative is never visited in govt academia or imparted to any students. And it's so, so true.
Um, Linda dear. Under which President was the “Fast and Furious” scam hatched to illegally funnel guns and ammo to your Mexican brethren?
Mexicans are Mexicans and they belong in their own country.
Lousy singer ( she helped RUIN the terrible PIRATES OF PENZANCE desicration/film ) and obviously hasn’t had a working brain cell since she was 2 months old.
And to think that back in the day, I wanted to be her...or Stevie Nicks.
One small difference Grass Smoker. Jews were forced onto trains at gunpoint and were forcibly taken somewhere they didn’t want to go whereas Mexicans are willingly jumping onto trains and gladly coming to America.
I didn’t know she was still alive.
Please tell me she didn’t have any kids onto which she carried her stupid genes.
