    Well, that didn't last long. We were informed, that no matter how much we cling to PC, it is dead. And that right wingers can scold folks openly for things like the wrong foods bought on stamps, or walking away from a car that is sporting a disabled placard.

    Till us liberals used our free voices, to take the right wing to task. Then it is all about how our belligerence, and tone is going to end our party etc. And, the people will in response, elect ever moar right wing candidates.

    On into infinity. We aren't allowed to speak on really any issue. No matter what we say, it is going to lead to particularly right wingers punishing us. And Trump will punish anyone that says he is not royal. By punishing anyone associated with that person.

    Say mean things in print, or video, and Trump will impoverish any business associated. All the while, right wingers cheer Trump as he punishes the libs. Saying the most horrendous unproven FACTLESS facts.

    To stop us libs saying stuff, Trump and the right wing will do ANYTHING. Inject religion into schools, Change the libel laws, ANYTHING.

    This entire fiasco seems to be lead by Trump, who will tell us what we can discuss, and in what tone.

    But, it is likely to work itself out, as the right wing is diligently telling us what we cannot say, to gain election. THANK CONS. We are learning how to speak. What inflections are allowed. What flattery had BEST accompany any raising of any issue with Trump.

    What subjects to avoid, and which had better be discussed his way.

    And they are JUST getting started. This is expected to continue, till only approved topics even have an effective vocabulary to do so. All to limit the debate to THEIR TERMS.

    MAGA.

    The death of PC? Hardly. Try voicing a conservative opinion on a college (or even high school) campus and you will receive threats.

    If you don't espouse the liberal doctrine (business is evil, government is good, the police are bad, illegals are good, etc.) this country can be a dangerous place.

    Looks like another pointless rant. You can deny reality all you want but that does not change it. PC culture is dead.

    When Conservatives say they oppose “PC”, what they are really saying is that they want to be able to throw around racist or otherwise bigoted epithets without getting called or for it.

    Agreed. Unfortunately, universities, once the bastion of free thought, are now the bastion of dictatorial PCness and "safe spaces".

    See, you can say that as a Liberal, but if a Conservative said the same thing about Liberals, s/he would be drummed out off campus. The hypocrisy is sickening.

    Calling anyone who disagrees with them a racist and a bigot.

    So is the problem that you don’t know what “political correctness” is?

    "Called out for it"?

    http://www.breitbart.com/london/201...osed-for-online-hatred-of-religion-or-gender/

    Six years of jail for "hate speech" in Britain. That's not "being called out".

    Don't like Breitbart? Here, check it out for yourself guys.

    https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.u...der_Offences_Guideleines_Consultation_web.pdf

    Six freaking years. Wrongthink having basically the same sentence as an armed robbery.

    No, THIS is what opposing PC is about. It's about preserving freedom from progressive dictators.

    I think you are epitomizing what "political correctness" is all about.

    Standard leftist fall back position number one, when you are losing the argument or have no real argument to make call the other guy a racist. That's right out of the PC hand book. PC isn't about Race it's about sticking your finger in your ears and running away.

    But I get right in your faces, and state the truth, and you tell me I am going to cost elections. OVER and OVER and OVER. You call me a racist, sexist homophobe, for taking you to task. For making comments from those categories.

    So then why do non-PC Conservatives “telling it like it is” always seem to be saying something bigoted and ignorant?

    Um your ears don't work properly? You hear what you've been trained to hear rather than what is actually being said? you believe stuff is racist that isn't?

    Like how white supremacists marching and later running over protesters with a car are “very fine people”, but a brown athlete peacefully kneeling is a “son of a bitch”?

    Yep another screwed up leftist narrative thanks for proof of my contention that leftists only hear what they want to hear.

    I agree that Trump is wrong about defamation law. If you weren't so indignant you might even have a shot at convincing a fair few conservatives on this.

    Because any truth you don't want to hear seems to you bigoted and racist. The problem in in your head, not in the facts being stated.
