Donald Trump and political correctness

RE: Donald Trump and political correctness

It does seem that we've set up a system where politicians are not allowed to actually speak their mind without being forced to make several apologies. Although I absolutely don't support Donald Trump, I do think the one refreshing thing about him is that he doesn't apologize for things that he says.

That's actually a phenomenon you can observe around the world. Certain people mistake rude words for having guts. Even more so if it plays to their own prejudices. immigrants happen to be the #1 running gag of rightwing populists around the world. Also the simplistic solutions such as building a wall to keep them all out, is nothing original. It's the tough guy shtick, since they actually don't have to prove to have real solutions. Many of their fanbase wouldn't understand a more complex procedure anyway. They're fear driven and it appeals to them when someone appears to be Iron man taking on the whole world.
