The Democrats too. They too will engage in increasingly ugly nationalistic rhetoric, no matter how much more consistent than the Republicans. The same folks who warned against normalizing Trump early on were quick to do so when they saw it was catching on.

I don't buy it. The Republican party has been an organized crime syndicate for at least the last 30 years. The difference under Trump is just that they are less inclined to pretend otherwise.
