Honestly I'd like to hear the specifics which would be good to talk about so we could find some common ground and maybe I could help remove some of the fears, or at least give you the opportunity to talk. I promise to not be judgemental on your thread, and just would really like to hear about what is troubling you.
I'll bite:
-He's a classic narcissist who cannot handle any sort of criticism at all. Examples: The comments about having small hands, the SNL skits, the Vanity Fair article. His tweets are painful. While he is tweeting stupid things, Aleppo is being bombed to smithereens while we watch live on Twitter. He isn't president yet, but he could at least have a modicum of sensitivity to that and shut the fuck up on Twitter about his retarded thoughts.
-His total disregard for any sort of diplomatic precedent is going to get us fucking killed.
-His proposal that Muslims be registered somehow....Too much no in that to even think about.
-His RETARDED proposal to "build a wall"
-He is "too smart" for intelligence briefings. Is is Candid Camera? What the fuck is that?!
-He's a sexist pig. Do I need to elaborate?
-His cabinet appointments are terrifying. Climate change deniers, evolution deniers, Big Business moguls, anti-choice, uber-Christian women-controlling dirtbags.
-Most of what he says doesn't make any sense. I'm going to be the greatest president, believe me. I am going to be great, bigly. In an unpresidented way. He says all sorts of shit that is either completely false or has no substance.
I'll stop there for now.

That doesn't mean you can control the reactions and actions of others. If I perceive something is racist or otherwise bigoted, I'm going to speak my mind.
Of course, I fully support your free speech and your ability to call whoever you want a racist. However you can't argue that you are in favor of political correctness because it's respectful dialog and at the same time call people racist all will nilly. Calling someone a racist isn't respectful. That's where political correctness loses me. It seems more a cover for people to be insulting and offended at the same time.
