The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. - H. L. Mencken

Political correctness does not like to debate or be questioned. People smarter than us know that socialism (Communism) is the answer.
Just ask Jane Fonda (who's telling us that the media doesn't let the right viewpoints get through):
"If you understood what communism was", she said, "you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist".
