What happens when the "truth" offends?

At the very core of 2017 liberalism is the concept that politically correct should replace the truth in terms of what we strive for in any and all social conversation. By politically correct, what I actually mean is that any and all propaganda from the new brown shirts should replace the truth. Anyone arguing with them (on pretty much any subject), is subjected to the modern day McCarthyism, with accusations of racism and bigotry replacing accusations of communism.

Case in point. The Google employee with an Ivy League Masters degree in biology from Harvard who was fired for making a biological/neurological argument that men and women have different behavior patterns, and that this (rather than google's suggestion that it is inherent sexism and discrimination) better explains the higher percentage of men in their work force. The employee argued nothing that was not backed up with scientific studies, many within the field he earned his masters in, but was fired because the argument (mainstream scientific thinking by many accounts) was seen as offensive by some.

The word "fair" no longer exists in the same form it was taught when I was growing. We lived by the misguided concept that "fair" meant equal treatment for everyone. Today, the liberal definition of "fair" it to make exceptions and special classifications for groups within the liberal coalition. Those who suggest that "equal treatment" (rather than "special treatment") is fair are charged with having whatever "ism" is appropriate from the left.

Example. The military has strict policies against accepting applicants who have existing medical conditions, especially anything (such as diabetes) that would require any form or constant medication. You can be turned down (as I know from personal experience) for having eczema that once required a prescription creme, because such a creme may not be readily available in certain situations. But now it is argued that the military is simply discriminating against someone who is transgender because they do not want to pay for an expensive surgical procedure and daily hormone treatments. Imagine anyone else (who was not transgender), joining the military with a pre-existing condition that requires a surgical procedure and daily medications that they expect the military to pay for?

There is almost no debate anymore that exists from liberals that does not include some form of name-calling, or some declaration of moral superiority for whatever argument they make. They see no reason to explain why their arguments are morally superior. They just are (because they have been told they are). If one has the audacity to ask "why" their arguments are morally superior, the reaction is generally to simply go back to name calling. Ironically, while it's wrong to tell the truth when it offends the liberal sensitivities, using baseless fiction to blatantly call others names is not apparently wrong or insensitive.

For instance... the left tells us that our President was elected because 63,000 Americans are racists (one has to wonder how that is not offensive?). The left tells us that the KKK and Neo-Nazis (estimated to be a few thousands people total) are a general representation of Donald Trump's "base". It's as if they want us to either believe that there is an entirely different set of 60 million GOP voters than what existed in previous elections, or the election of Donald Trump mysteriously transformed 60 million plus GOP voters "into" racists. Deep down, the left cannot possibly believe either argument to be the truth, because there can "literally" be no factually logical argument made to this extent (for either argument). But if you call them on it, then they will double down with the name-calling and pretend it proves their point. They don't seem to see the irony of considering themselves the protectors of decency, inclusiveness, and political correctness, all the while labeling tens of millions of Americans as bigots with pretty much no real grounds to do so.

Bottom line is that the liberal world would like us to simply replace truth, facts, and reality with political correctness and liberal ideals. If you don't agree... well then you can be expected to be called any number of names. Because of course, political correctness doesn't extend to conservatism. Conservatives are apparently the last of the "non-protected" groups of people.
