Why Trump may be winning the war on ‘political correctness’

Cathy Cuthbertson once worked at what might be thought of as a command post of political correctness — the campus of a prestigious liberal arts college in Ohio.
“You know, I couldn’t say ‘Merry Christmas.’ And when we wrote things, we couldn’t even say ‘he’ or ‘she,’ because we had transgender. People of color. I mean, we had to watch every word that came out of our mouth, because we were afraid of offending someone, but nobody’s afraid of offending me,†the former administrator said.
All of which helps explain why the 63-year-old grandmother showed up at a recent Donald Trump rally in Hilton Head Island, S.C., where she moved when she retired a year ago.
I am not a Trump supporter. I can see why Donald Trump is getting stronger for 2016 Election.

In Germany, during the hardest fought parts of WWII, it was politically incorrect to speak your mind or any misgivings against the fuhrer, the reich, the SS, the brownshirts, and many other facets of the 3rd reich.
Censorship will eventually collapse of it's own weight on the limitation of personal freedoms.

If I recall, political correctness was used to describe Nazis Germany.
