“...talking heads who have trained themselves...”
I think it’s less insanity and more towards cowardice.
Grown men afraid of being called a word. Political correctness is designed to shut off debate and silence opposition. It only works when people agree to “behave” with it. And people behave accordingly, typically, because they have something to lose and they’re afraid of the consequences.
I think that’s why Trump resonates with folks. No one owns him, he knows, they know it, and his opposition knows it as well - so far, they have no Damocles’ sword to hang over him, and it’s making them froth.
We’re all put here for a reason; half the battle of our lives is spent learning that reason; the other half is (or should be) spent in the pursuit of achieving it. Some folks NEVER realize either of those.
Maybe Trump’s found his reason.
Sigh. Yes. And we are all susceptible to that form of cowardice. I know I am, and I have to fight against it.
I have to keep reminding myself that being called names by the likes of the leftists isn’t the same as being called names by people who actually have a valid moral compass.
