He validates all that crap and makes them feel like it's OK for them to say it, too.

with her 'basket of deplorables' line, they all got butthurt and suddenly didn't want to hear 'harsh truths'.

IOW, they like speech codes that protect their ego and privilege in America, and miss being able to openly mistreat the groups that pc/liberalism protects.

When the right talks about political correctness they are complaining that they cannot say whatever racist, sexist nonsense comes into their minds.

Where does this desire come from? They want to take away rights, not expand them. They are willing to blow it all up and build some sort of coalition b/w corporations, religious institutions, and all that is anti-intellectual. Oh well, I really did enjoy seeing these changes over the last eight years.

the n-word. One can say all the racist, bigoted shit one wants through more subtle and sometimes implicit terms.

That's what The Southern Strategy was all about and Lee Atwater did a great job indoctrinating the Republican Party (and yes, many in the Democratic Party as well) on how to hate black people without actually coming out and saying it!

The only other things he says are out and out lies. That leaves ONLY the racist bullshit.
