my poll is exactly the poll that was done and reported on Meet the Press. these are objective measures such as level of education, income, religion. it may be uncomfortable to hear it but not sure what is "politically correct" about them, and i do not get those quotes.

Welcome to the end of any kind of civility or social awareness.
spot on. many of them are ashamed to admit that fact for the reason they support trumps and so the number of Trump supporters is even greater than it shows in the poll, because of these silent supporters.

the news today reported that there may be more support for trump than what the poll shows- those who who are ashamed to admit they are voting for trump because they might look like bigots and are therefore silent. trump knows this.

Why are you making a blanket statement like that? Not all Americans are biased against Muslims. Those that oppose Muslims object to the extremists in their group. There is nothing prejudiced or bigoted about that.

That's utter nonsense. That's not why we want to do away with PC. It's because it restricts freedom of speech/opinions where it shouldn't be restricted. Lefty liberals prove me right with your post right here. I find liberals to be among the least civil there are. Social awareness? WTH does that mean?

It is a historical fact that Muslims and Islam have always been held with suspicion in a way Hinduism or Buddhism was not. Sure Jews were hated to as were Catholics, but the prejudice against Muslims is even more deep seated. If you need links I can try and provide them.

All faiths have extremists. those who claim fear of all muslims because of extremist terrorism and want to round american muslims up and deny them visas, why do you not show the same fear towards white, mostly christian, mass murderers, and slaughterers of children, and support gun control? maybe you have not properly examined your prejudice.

Of course not all americans are biased against muslims. some are themselves muslims. and others believe in freedom of religion and the constitution. it is mostly those who become Trump supporters. He knows this and that is why he telegraphs these ugly messages. he is a marketeer, he knows how to hone his message.

That question itself is revealing. there is no absolute right to free speech. why don't you go look it up and you may learn something. even in CD you will be banned if you spout hateful words and derogatory comments like all mexicans are rapists as Trump proclaimed with no shame.

precisely what PC language do you object to?
Not using the N word?
Not Calling women the C word?
Not Calling all muslims terrorists?
All brown people something else?
Handicapped people anything you like?

Does that say anything about the kind of America it will be with Trump as president? Will it be great?
Your post says more about you than it says about Trump supporters.

You mean talking about news is something you find offensive?
