And this makes me pine for a Bush presidency. Seriously.
"Political correctness" is being respectful of other people. No more, no less. Anyone that whines about being called out for being disrespectful to other people is an asshole. No more, no less.

Maybe that's why this election came as a surprise to you, lots of people are simply scared to speak their minds because they don't want to be politically incorrect.
In my humble opinion, the whole notion of political correctedness screams, "shut up. You're wrong, we're right and if you don't accept this, we'll ruin you.", ie, a form of silencing. Unless and until people become understanding and are willing to explain their stance in a purely adult manner without screaming "you fucking white male", this trend will continue.
