Democratic Party in 2023 shit-talking populism has dusted off some venerable politics:

"Marching lepers followed rank on rank
Lurching bravos from the ditches dank
Drabs from the alleyways
Drug fiends pale
Minds still passion ridden
Soul powers frail"

Vachel Lindsay (1913) hilariously satirizing Gilded Age fear of the unwashed mob.
