Were social justice warriors responsible for the election outcome?

RE: Were social justice warriors responsible for the election outcome?
I'm still not even sure what "SJW" actually means.  I get what they intend it to mean, but it's thrown around so willy-nilly these days that it's just become another way to shut don the conversation.  I mean, I've been accused on this very forum of being an SJW and not PC enough.  It's almost as if these words are becoming meaningless...

But don't kid yourself, the right secretly loves the so-called "regressive left." It's given them a shield to hide from legitmate claims of racism and prejudice.  Did you point out that Trump uses lots of racist dog-whistle terminology?  You're an SJW.  Did you point out that the birther movement is racist?  You're an SJW.  Did you point out that Trump's call for a national registry of Muslims is pure bigotry in motion and unconstitutional?  You're just a whiny, pussy SJW, and I don't have to listen to you.  Since people out there cry prejudice at the drop of a hat, I'm just going to insulate myself and insist that all cries of prejudice are illegitimate.

Just look at how pissy the Trump supporters here get when you point out that they just threw their hat in the ring with neo-Nazis and the KKK.  Anything to deny the truth, and we can't allow them to hide from the obvious just because some youtubers go overboard.  

So we can go ahead and blame the people that abuse cries of racism and bigotry, but that's just playing right into the bigot's hands.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
