Excellent comment. Three words in particular - "basket of deplorables" - contributed greatly to Clinton's defeat. Perhaps the lib-left crowd has learned that arrogance and puerile name-calling might silence their opponents in public but that it can't intimidate the electorate in the privacy of the voting booth. On the other hand, maybe it is wishful thinking to expect that leftists might learn anything from defeat. They know everything already and therefore have nothing left to learn.
