[ The headline words, “political correctness,” must, from now on, be appropriately defined as censorship. Rising generations must be taught about the tactics used by “progressives” which, when disguised, rob them of their First Amendment rights. ]

Trump should strip the FCC down to the bare wires so the only people working there are 2 nerds with a slide rules who only talk about Maxwell’s equations all day long.

It was the angry white, beaten down, disrespected, out of work and pissed off MALES and 46% of the women in this country!! I watched the Trump rallies often on RIGHT SIDE . I was amazed at the young men— I mean MEN!! in those crowds. Guys you would never see at a political rally. The demographic on this is the resurgence of the Male- Some black too, Just males — Pissed off males!!
I want to say this about Right Side. First we support this site. This is the most important site for the Trump movement that existed!! , But these young men and women that built Right Side Broadcasts and covered every raly— EVERY RALLY on you tube for us and millions to see was CRITICAL is starting this fire@!!. They were as tireless as TRUMP!! They have a great guy named Dupree that has a call in talk show, We have got to find a way to help cover their expenses But even more , we have got to get them to a solid internet media programming status. They did a fantastic job. Thank the Right SIDE!!

People can be pushed only so far before they push back. America, real Americans, just pushed back. Like Patton said, Americans love a fight. Now “nuke” every bit of Dem/Obama legislation from the past 10 years.

> Thank you for making it ok to be deplorable!

As I electioneered for Trump at my precinct yesterday, the line that invariably got a laugh from the Trump voters was “It’s a great day to be deplorable!!”

Anxiety? Yeah, that's it. Take some Xanax an settle down.

This isn't a psychobable movement. It is that your alternative reality is insane.

Trump won because the establishment lost the ability to control the flow of information.

Trump was the first presidential candidate to figure out how to work around that dam since Reagan.

G-d gave us Obama so that He could give us Trump.

What a great thought!

I also heard Michael speak of this just today. I hope the Travel Ban is lifted asap, but I think Mike should wait to visit London until that Muslim Mayor is gone. He plans to travel with an entourage of supporters. I wish him luck and fulfillment. One can easily tell that this bothers him deeply.

I believe you are correct. Obama was necessary to open our eyes so that a Trump revolution became possible.

The writer is incorrect in his premise that Trump was elected as a backlash against political correctness by a largely racist American population.

Trump was elected by a majority of Americans who believe that he is the man to lead our nation away from the suicide of appeasement and military dilution through social programs, to disarm the federal agencies that have been used as weapons against conservative Americans, and to reverse the destructive, oppressive, and unconstitutional policies unleashed upon us by a second-rate despotic narcissist. And we elected Trump in order to facilitate the prosecution of those who are responsible for all the treasonous acts mentioned above. We elected Trump because he, more than any other candidate, was most likely to follow through on his promise to drain the swamp.

We elected Trump because Hillary Clinton promised to not only continue all those wrongs, but also to amplify them.

The same people who stood against Trump in both parties have completely missed the point. They think Trump won because the majority of Americans are white male racist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic bigots.

Nothing we do- even if Trump is successful in leading this nation back to greatness and prosperity- will change their view because their hatred of America, and of patriotic Americans, is all they are capable of knowing.

“Trump won because of James O’Keef. We all owe him. He smashed the fraud machine, put them on the defense, and got everyone pissed off.”

So effective in fact, Hillary’s campaign had to ask Comey to reopen the investigation just to bury Wikileaks and O’Keef information flow.

In my opinion, the continued threat from Wikileaks of a major devastating bombshell all last week forced Comey to delay his “exoneration”. Major damage.

” Alternatively: some people thought electing an African-American president meant we would stop hearing about racism all the time. Apparently, it actually meant we’d never stop hearing about racism.
This made voters skeptical about Hillary’s claim to be a uniter. Voters felt like she’d just continue the fragmentation and Balkanization of the Obama era. The contrast between somebody always talking about being a unifier but expressing it in such a divisive way got to voters. So they went with Trump.”

I liked your comment so, I reposted it.

Anti-PC was definitely a factor.

Trump is multi dimensional leader and he has the ability to bring in people with different needs and feelings under the basic tent of being an American. Americans, who want to save America and reverse the last 8 years of Obama and 4 worthless years with GW.

We see these dimensions as critical to America, us, our children and grandkids. The opposite side sees them as evil, which is their problem.

This time we beat evil and can have a restart like we had with Reagan.

PCism is a direct assault on the First Amendment. No lawsuit for being offended should be entertained by any court in this country. The right to free speech is nothing less than the right to offend.

Funny this should be brought up, I was on that same thought wave earlier today. Which sent me searching for the number of riots that have occurred since 2000. What I found was there were 12 riots between 2000 and 2008, there were 25 riots between 2009 and 2016, most occurring in the last 4 years. And the reason I wanted to know this is because I just KNEW this morning I’d wake to read about riots being waged in the bigger cities. Sadly, I was correct. There has been so much division created in the name of ‘unity’ being shoved down our throats by the current administration, it has set our country back. The USA was beginning to implode.
