How the P.C. Police Propelled Donald Trump

[frizzled]

8. Since when did "understand your enemy" become a bad thing?

If we can discuss why radical Islamic terrorists hate us, we can discuss what's driving conservative hate of "political correctness" and support for Trump.

Why would I post this? Because he's absolutely right, conservative or not. Trump is being supported out of pure spite towards what's seen as the elitist PC bullshit of the left. This article reflects what I've seen expressed thousands and thousands of times online.

These brutish leftist tactics radicalized otherwise more centrist people towards Trump not because they care so much about gay marriage or guns or refugees any other issue, but because they’re terrified that they’re losing the basic right to express themselves. Many of these people are not nearly as conservative or extreme as the white supremacists, nativists, and other assorted fringe nuts who are riding along on Trump’s ego trip. But they are cheering on Trump because they feel they have nowhere else to go. And for that, liberals—especially those who have politely looked away as such methods were employed in the public square—must directly shoulder the blame.

By the way Trump is an ideological moderate.
