Hey, remember when people said they support Trump because he is not "politically correct"?

I think it just deserves a mention that you can't write "I'm not politically correct" on checks and expect landlords and grocers to take them in lieu of money because you have no money because you're not getting paid.

I just think that's interesting.

Too many of Trump’s supporters said that because they wanted to let out their own prejudices and Trump gave them permission.

This presidency has exposed so many fundamental ills within our country. Perhaps we’ll have an epiphany as a nation and progress to a better place.

Or else...

...different from what you suggested, but the interpretation is already, "I'm a moron."

They are free to emigrate any time. I suspect they wouldn't like it there.

Personally, I think the trend towards verbally abusive "reality" show hosts greased the skids towards Trump. IMO, they are all Assholes, at least on camera. I don't understand why anyone would find that entertaining. Maybe voyeurism, fantasizing about being able to be rude to other people in ways they don't dare? I could do with less Asshole chefs, bar "experts", "Dr"s, talent show judges, etc.
