I don't support the guy, but this is why Trump is winning. This PC crap has gone way too far, and Trump is the embodiment of the pendelum swinging back.

The PC Police are at it again.

And then . . .
It came out that the school provided sombreros for a reunion:
Conservatives pretty much started the PC movement with organizations like the Moral Majority and the like. Saying that PC is largely a product of the "left" (there's no mainstream "left" in the United States, only right, and really, reeeeeeeally right), is not accurate.Those on the left tell people what is wrong or right based on what is PC at that time.

Early-to-mid 20th century
In the early-to-mid 20th century, the phrase "politically correct" was associated with the dogmatic application of Stalinist doctrine, debated between Communist Party members and Socialists. This usage referred to the Communist party line, which provided for "correct" positions on many political matters. According to American educator Herbert Kohl, writing about debates in New York in the late 1940s and early 1950s,The term "politically correct" was used disparagingly, to refer to someone whose loyalty to the CP line overrode compassion, and led to bad politics. It was used by Socialists against Communists, and was meant to separate out Socialists who believed in egalitarian moral ideas from dogmatic Communists who would advocate and defend party positions regardless of their moral substance.In March 1968, the French philosopher Michel Foucault is quoted as saying: "a political thought can be politically correct ('politiquement correcte') only if it is scientifically painstaking", referring to leftist intellectuals attempting to make Marxism scientifically rigorous rather than relying on orthodoxy.[28]

1970s
In the 1970s, the New Left began using the term "politically correct",[29] in the essay The Black Woman: An Anthology (1970), Toni Cade Bambara said that "a man cannot be politically correct and a [male] chauvinist, too." Thereafter, the term was often used as self-critical satire, Debra L. Shultz said that "throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the New Left, feminists, and progressives... used their term 'politically correct' ironically, as a guard against their own orthodoxy in social change efforts."[3][29][30] As such, PC is a popular usage in the comic book Merton of the Movement, by Bobby London, which then was followed by the term ideologically sound, in the comic strips of Bart Dickon.[29][31] In her essay "Toward a feminist Revolution" (1992) Ellen Willis said: "In the early eighties, when feminists used the term 'political correctness', it was used to refer sarcastically to the anti-pornography movement's efforts to define a 'feminist sexuality.'"[32]
Stuart Hall suggests one way in which the original use of the term may have developed into the modern one:According to one version, political correctness actually began as an in-joke on the left: radical students on American campuses acting out an ironic replay of the Bad Old Days BS (Before the Sixties) when every revolutionary groupuscule had a party line about everything. They would address some glaring examples of sexist or racist behaviour by their fellow students in imitation of the tone of voice of the Red Guards or Cultural Revolution Commissar: "Not very 'politically correct', Comrade!"[33]
Lol, really?I keep saying that Trump is the "fuck off" vote. Lot's of people sick of political correctness, lots of people sick of being called racists, lots of people that want to take a shot at the entrenched power base. Those folks are voting for Trump, and the more they get labeled as undesirables, the firmer their conviction becomes. They have a chance to give the established power base the finger, and they're doing it. It's not a movement, it's a reaction.
Lol, really?
When and if Trump gets into office he's going to have to deal with a Republican House and Senate that do not like him. On top of that he's going to have to work with lobbyist that are only out for the companies and people they represent.
It's not going to be easy. Not even close. Look at Obaama for example. Pretty much everything that he wanted to do was shot down or severly hammered in the Senate. When Jesse Ventura became Governor of Minnesota, he was shocked to find how difficult it was to get anything passed.
That's if he even survives.That may be true, but Strongman Trump isn't a low-energy loser like Obama and Ventura, plus his wife has way better tits than Michelle or Theresa.
You're really underestimating how great Strongman Trump is going to be once he gets into the White House and begins to MakeAmericaGreatAgain.
This.
We are raising a nation of pussies and milquetoasts. Pretty soon the country is gonna seem like it's been neutered. This is what liberals have created.

Im pretty sure ive seen salt tubs of margarita salt where the top is a little sombrero, in fact I think thats what those are. Pretty dumb.
The expectations of the modern American college student seems to be that they:
1. Will not be exposed to any ideas they don't already agree with.
2. Will be able to espouse modern progressive ideals and values, but not be expected to actually do anything useful to further them.
2. Will be able to study whatever they want, get a degree, and get a 6 figure job afterwards in whatever they want.
You want to study gender studies and literature and then make 6 figures? Sure, go ahead, you are entitled to your 6 figures!
So...the ethics issues surrounding two people wearing tiny sombreros at a party trumps that of the screaming girl in the actual scope of anecdotal reality? I think I've heard it all now!Everyone involved in any protest about ethnics issues on campus can't be equated with extreme anecdotes like this one or the screaming girl you're referring to. You're the one who's trying to enlarge this beyond its actual scope in reality. Which makes you the dishonest one, not him.
