Is PC responsible for Trump?

[Mac1958]

How can I say that in the last post, and mark those 1, 2, and 3?

Simple, the only issue that got many conservatives out to vote for him was the Supreme court, the other 2 reasons had him wi

Fabulous, thanks so much.

A crude comment said it private became Trump grabbing pussies left and right. No one ever even said he did it but lefties imploded over it. That's called fabricated outrage, some bullshit think you can go all drama queen over. No one but lefties bought it.

Now see, I go the opposite way this board is voting on this; I believe it was significant, and here is why--------->

Whenever any Republican runs for President and the left attacks him, he softens his tone. Both Bush Presidents did it, and so did Mcain and Romney (especially Romney) when they ran for President. In essence, the GOP theory has been to try and steal a few Democratic voters to push them over the top, and nobody in the GOP but Santorum, would approach union blue collar workers, or even try to engage with black America.

Now, who among you believes that blue collar workers are going to follow some double talking slickster? Not me, because I was union for 31 years. They do NOT speak like that, they speak like Trump! (I know, shocking, isn't it!) None of those people believed in Romney, but they understood what Trump was saying, and the neat thing was......when the Dems called him out, he doubled down! He didn't "panty waist" around, he said it, he owned it. And what he said and owned, was something that the none PC crowd had been saying for years..........illegal immigration was helping to kill our wages, change the country for the worse, and cause more spending to fund welfare.

And so, while every lefty on this board is going to go to the poll numbers when I say this.......the number 1, 2 and 3 reasons Trump got elected were.....

The Supreme Court

Illegal Immigration

and because voters thought he would do his best to deliver, because he was NOT PC, and did NOT back down from his own statements like other politicians always do. He still hasn't!

Thank you.

I knew how the PC zealots would react - denial, don't look at me - but I've been a little surprised by some of the comments from Trump supporters. They seem to think this thread was some kind of back-handed attack, and it's just an honest theory, based directly on what they said a thousand times.

Clearly it played a role, the only question is to what extent. If all it did was increase the resolve of his voters, that still seems significant to me.

Most times I go into work about a half-hour early. Me and my coworkers stand around in the parking lot for a BS session. There are the normal guys, and then there are the guys that are out there, and the only thing they are educated on is sports. The normal guys try to stay in one group, but the lower-IQ people can't help but to come over and try to join our discussions.

Of course we are not rude by telling them to go away. We just kind of put up with them. Often we bring up subjects we know they don't understand like politics. Usually they get bored since they have no idea what we are talking about and eventually drift away.

However the last couple of months that strategy didn't work so well. That's because they began talking about what Trump said or what he said he was going to do. They actually knew WTF we were talking about for a change.

I can't say for sure if any of them voted or not. But what I do know is Trump related to more people.

Apparently so. It seems counter-intuitive to me, but it really does look like he has.

Surely a part of the attraction is the fact that, for better or worse, he doesn't pre-measure every word to determine if it may "offend".

There are a lot of people who have had enough of that, far more than I realized.

Listen Mac, were it not for Trumps anti PC, he would not have won. Without it, he would not have had the blue collar workers listening to him, and they were the difference, no doubt about it, because THEY WERE THE OUTLIER!

See, Trump will embrace the blue collar workers, the left just tolerated them in their coalition.

Did you ever see a (former) union worker translate what Trump was actually saying to them? I know, if it needs a translation, then it must be PC, but no, it can't be broadcast if actually told them like he would have on a job site------->

"Listen, these god damn people are coming across our border, stealing jobs, taking your money in welfare payments, scaring the hell out of our women, and the Democrats sitting in Hollywood don't give a fuck!" "All they want is someone to clean their god damn mansions for cheap, and get a little deportable pussy on demand when their wives aren't looking." "For Christ's sake, right before the fucking election that god damn socialist/Marxist Obowelmovement, actually tried to convince them to vote for the coal killing hag."

"Lets make America great again and throw these god damn bathroom sharers out of office for fucking good." All they are in truth are touchy, feely, whining, snowflakes, and we better get someone with balls in charge, before they let Iran and the rest of Islamic Jihadists in here, and have all of our women wearing fucking Burkinis!"

Yeah, could be. The question to me is not whether it played a big role, but to what degree.

As I mentioned above, I knew many people were sick of PC, I just had no idea HOW many.

Trump won in spite of political incorrectness, not because of it.
