PC was ripe for exploitation. The media/DC cartel has been operating with an extremely mature business model for a very long time. PC was a critical component - the cartel was able to literally define any issue/debate and hold the high ground seemingly without effort through their control of static media channels.

But there was underlying rot that those busy enjoying the good life failed to notice. Now, the counter-PC campaign is exploding all around them. This kind of disruptive cycle is quite commonplace in many sectors, high tech being an obvious example.

But politics moves much slower. It doesn't mean it's not subject to the same forces of change, it's just that the players are as quick to either identify that change has occurred, or once realized, can come up with an effective counter measure.

Trump is both personally smart, and has a lot of smart operators. All they have to do is go down the list of issues considered sacrosanct ie artificially constructed, and blow each one up in turn. It's almost like a turkey shoot at this point.

That right there is where I think he is. I completely agree. And he has the means as well as the ear of the electorate. PC could blow up thanks to Trump.
