Blame Trump on PC liberals

[JayJayH 546]

There are a lot of complex reasons why Trump won the presidency and Republicans now control both houses of congress plus the majority of all state legislatures and governorships.

Among other reasons, PC liberals and college activists with PTSD.

"As “bias-response teams” fanned out across campuses, an incident report was filed about a University of Northern Colorado student who wrote “free speech matters” on one of 680 “#languagematters” posters that cautioned against politically incorrect speech. Catholic DePaul University denounced as “bigotry” a poster proclaiming “Unborn Lives Matter.” Bowdoin College provided counseling to students traumatized by the cultural appropriation committed by a sombrero-and-tequila party. Oberlin College students said they were suffering breakdowns because schoolwork was interfering with their political activism. California State University at Los Angeles established “healing” spaces for students to cope with the pain caused by a political speech delivered three months earlier . Indiana University experienced social-media panic (“Please PLEASE PLEASE be careful out there tonight”) because a Catholic priest in a white robe, with a rope-like belt and rosary beads, was identified as someone “in a KKK outfit holding a whip.”

Major in physics, not [......] studies.

I really, really wish identity politics would stop infiltrating every issue. It encourages group-think and over simplifies everything into 'this' and 'that camps. The left and the right are guilty of this because it is a fallacy inherent to humanity which can only be overcome by reflection and thought rather than reaction.

But I guess this silly cartoon sums it up:

I guess this is what happens when you teach everyone what to think, not how to think.
