Great article up at The Federalist.
Excerpts:
Political Correctness is all about Propaganda Compliance. PC is the engine of the propaganda machine that produces mass delusion. PC is basically a calculated process of molding public opinion through psychological manipulation. The process is twofold: saturation and suppression. Saturation is the practice of repeating a deception relentlessly and injecting it into every corner of public life so that it becomes accepted as truth. It involves control of most communications outlets.

PC is a war on our personal relationships and personal conversations. Getting your business, school, or church in line with a politically correct agenda item is just the beginning for agents of propaganda compliance. In fact, control of the media, popular culture, and all of society’s institutions will never ever be enough for the central planners who push PC. Control of personal relationships is their endgame.
To self-identify in opposition to a PC agenda is effective in breaking down barriers, especially one on one. When people speak openly and respectfully about their beliefs to someone who likes or identifies with them, they can be immensely persuasive, even without talking points. They trigger ripple effects in thought. It is precisely these privately sparked ripple effects that PC aims to contain and control through its silencing tactics.
Whether or not I agree with any of Donald Trump’s political policies, one thing I definitely love the guy for is the fact is that he’s blowing up the PC machine and serving as both a beacon and an example for how to tear the PC walls down – which is exactly why the elites of both parties are trying to take him down.
