“At the present time [1882], the existence of nations is a good thing, a necessity even. Their existence is the guarantee of liberty, which would be lost if the world had only one law and only one master.”

Trump and the Culture of Political Correctness, Chronicles, October 8, 2015, James Kalb

Political correctness is a project of the Left invented to eradicate nationalism, and larger, the reliance on rationality in anything we do.
That the article explains well.
It also correctly explains the popularity of Trump through that prism.
However, our nation cannot be rebuilt on trumps; the man completely lacks grace. The opposite of political correctness is not rudeness but rationality and kindness.
