Political correctness is the latest attempt by liberals to curb speech they don’t like—and we all know there’s a long list of things they find…problematic. You’re not alone if you think this trend is straight trash. A majority of Americans are against it too. Yes, there are political and geographic divides—and I bet you can guess where the people who think we should follow this authoritarian ethos reside. Oh, and if Democrats think that their crusade to crush those who they feelaren’t sensitive enough, it’s not going to yield political dividends; it could drive Independents away (via NPR):
Fifty-two percent of Americans, including a majority of independents, said they are against the country becoming more politically correct and are upset that there are too many things people can't say anymore. About a third said they are in favor of the country becoming more politically correct and like when people are being more sensitive in their comments about others.
That's a big warning sign for Democrats heading into the 2020 primaries when cultural sensitivity has become such a defining issue with the progressive base.
"If the Democratic Party moves in a direction that is more to its base on this issue, it suggests independents are going to be tested to stay with the Democrats electorally," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll.
[…]
The only groups in which majorities said they were in favor of people being more sensitive were Democrats, adults under 30, African-Americans and small city/suburban women.
Majorities of whites, Latinos, Americans over 30 and small city/suburban men, though, said the opposite. Just 1 in 7 Republicans and a third of independents said they like the country becoming more politically correct and people being sensitive in their comments.
There's also a big gender divide by place and education. Women who live in small cities or the suburbs say people need to be more sensitive, 52 percent vs. 37 percent. But just a quarter of men who live in the same place say so (27 to 57 percent), making for what have to be some very divided dinner tables.
So, keep America great! Do your part and trigger a liberal.
It ain’t going away....
The pendulum swings....away from PC.

Kick their Democrat asses, President Trump!
Put your foot so far up their behinds that they can tell you what your shoe polish tastes like!
Political correctness a diversity tool. Diversity 1st step in divide and conquer.
Americans don’t have a political party so it doesn’t matter what they think.
Wasn’t that long ago that no one - not even the most Liberal - would have said there were more than two genders. Now, many of the most Conservative refuse to push back on the idea.
The scary thing is not just the rise of PC-ism, but the rate at which it has become mainstream.
Show me where a leading conservative has publicly said “This is BS! There are two genders, period!”. and not walked it back a day later when their advertisers are boycotted, they are fired, etc.
I see no sign that the PC insanity has weakened at all. It is a malignant aggressive cancer. It started slow in the early eighties like a dull ache and by the time it was really noticed it was stage 4 bone cancer.
Gee, that must be why the Voters gave the House back to the Rats and the GOP gained only two net Senate Seats in an Election Cycle that had over half the Rat Senate Caucus up for grabs.
The Propagandist’s have done their Job. The PC Battle is lost no matter what the supposed Polls indicate.
“Kick their Democrat asses, President Trump!”
No...you kick democrat asses. Get involved in local politics.
Go to a liberal bar and pick a fight. Let me help:

Sorry.
I don’t fight fair.
Leftists have declared war against us. We must fight back.
JoMa
If you enjoy breathing you will fight back.
Right...big pushback coming real soon now.
In the meantime, we have endless abortion, homos in everything we do or say, trannies everywhere including kids’ bathrooms at school, “Baby It’s Cold Outside” banned, bakers going to the Supreme Court over cake baking for homos and trannies, fascism creeping out of Blue states and taking over Red states, zero free speech on any college campus, men afraid of how women will ruin their lives and careers ending all traditional male / female relationships, young men afraid of women on campus destroying their academic careers. Socialism is out in the open and on the march; people under 35 HATE capitalism.
NONE of this has been pushed back on over the past 50 years. If anything, it is accelerating.
When is the next Great Awakening and pushback going to happen exactly? A huge majority of the next generations agrees with all this crap. The generations that abhor this are dying off.
DOOMAGE and decades of darkness lie ahead for the Republic.
It took the Soviets 70 years to throw off the yoke of tyranny and, unfortunately, a huge number of Russians want the Soviet days back.
Boys are boys, girls are girls, and the one who think they are confused are the ones who need not burden society anymore.
Period.
The time to fight back was 1960. We lost.
“I don’t fight fair.”
:-)
The great awakening has been cancelled.
The Soviets are just as plagued by tyrants now as they ever were. They just call them oligarchs.
