Trump is credited, for lack of a better word, with allowing the xenophobics and racists to come out of hiding and say their obnoxious beliefs out loud.

Too many Dems have been far too polite to call out the current GOP for their hypocrisy and robber baron-esque policies. I'm glad AOC says what she does in language everyone can understand. What she says allows Dems to speak out in the same unvarnished terms instead of polite euphemisms.
