anyone who reads anything from trunews or clicks or their links or believes their tinfoil hat nonsense is frankly, too stupid to be allowed internet access.
so you don't agree with this?
criminal qualities became disguised and excused with euphemisms: “Illegal aliens” became “illegal immigrants” and then “undocumented immigrants” and presto-chango, something bad was magically transformed into something good.
Oh yeah that article hits the nail right on the head for the most part. I am well-aware of plutocratic global domination. This article's subject is part of that theme.
yep, in a plutocracy, the political system pays no more than lip-service to average people’s problems, I call it political poetry. Obama was good at political poetry. Plutocrats work to protect and grow the wealth of the already wealthy. People are aware of it but Trump is the first to go against the good ole boys club and that's why they hate, no despise him.
By this simple standard, we Americans today unquestionably live in a plutocracy.

Plutocracy is government by the wealthy. You elect a billionaire real estate developer as President and you think that is not plutocracy? Trump has done just what you said plutocrats do - grow the wealth of the wealthy.
But what does any of this have to do with political correctness? I agree with the OP: for the most part being PC is just being courteous. It’s not courteous to call someone the N word, or call a handicapped person a retard, or a homosexual a ***. An alien is from outer space; if immigrants don’t like to be called aliens, it is just courteous to use a different word.
If we treat each other courteously there would be no need for arguments over being politically correct. Why "politically" is even in the phrase makes it even more confusing about what it really means.
Courtesy and political correctness are completely different things. Political correctness is an ideology in which people are ruthlessly punished for holding the "incorrect" political views.

Of course, it's not plutocracy. Trump is not "the wealthy". He's like a king in the sense of being a wealthy man who stands up for the people (once in a while, at least), even if it's only so he can feel good about himself.

I disagree 100% that they are (regardless of the name) automatically something bad. Only an idiot would paint an entire segment of human race with one sweeping derogatory brush.
Unless you're discussing Trump supporters. THOSE people are brain dead morons who think game show hosts are leaders.
Well, then, what do you propose would be correct, in your opinion? Do you have something to educate me with? If you say I am wrong well then show me the correct answer as you view it.
I beleive there was a better time post-WWII in the 1950s (1900s) for morality, family-focus, prosperity.
Mind you I was not yet born in 1862 or 1776 so I cannot comment on how prosperous and moral society was then but I can bet it was backwards as compared to the 1900s especially with women's rights, standard of living, human rights..

Do women like to be called b*tch? Yet it is politically correct to refer to a women as my b*tch.

It was the Wuhan virus allowed to spread worldwide by the Chinese Communists. It has also crossed over via illegal aliens crossing from Mexico. Mexico and south were settled by the Spanish and is therefore much poorer than the lands under English law north of the border. That's why the illegals cross.
