Political correctness promotes censorship of speech. It forces people to indulge in self-censorship fearing backlash. PC has become a fetish with left leaning liberals. Democracy does not impose any restrictions on free speech. There are laws to tackle defamation or incitement to violence. PC is grounded in victim hood. The PC cult is always on the look out for victims, real or imaginary, to defend. It breeds notions of exaggerated entitlements in the minds of the so called victims.

The Trump phenomenon is the PC crowd’s ‘gift’ to the US. But they refuse to learn any lessons. Blinded by its self-righteous orthodoxy , the PC cult will end up destroying democracy itself. Then it will be too late as we will lose all our freedoms , even the one to censor others’ speech.
