It's not like there weren't anything like "basket of deplorables" from the losing side either, and saying that it's always "the other side" that "ramped to 11 seems to be a prime case of "they learned nothing and forgot nothing". It is a problem by itself. Although I might agree that AOC's and Omar's success is predicated on Trump being in the White House -- in current climate Democrats pretty much have to circle wagons around even someone as vile as them. By the way, doesn't, say, Al Sharpton predate Alex Jones?
