Fifty-two percent of Americans, including a majority of independents, said they are against the country becoming more politically correct and are upset that there are too many things people can’t say anymore. Only about a third said they are in favor of the country becoming more politically correct and like when people are being more sensitive in their comments about others.
Seventy percent say that civility has declined since his election with little difference between political affiliations, although blame is mixed. Overall, respondents split responsibility between Trump (35%) and the media (37%). The political demos on this question perform as expected, but indies also give a slight edge to the media on this point (38%, with 32% blaming Trump). If Democrats should be warned on political correctness, perhaps the media should take a hint on civility, too. Or at least Jim Acosta might.
So this doesn't come as a shock. I think the whole political correctness movement overplayed their hand a long time ago. Likewise I am not surprised that more and more people are looking at the media for culpability regarding the lack of civility in our country.
Now I would also argue that none of this is "much" different than when Trump was elected. It just goes to show that these same issues have stuck around. In spite of a President like Trump at the bully pulpit, the country still thinks we are "too" politically correct. That's sort of a amazing and just gives you a little insight on how stubborn this issue is likely to remain.

messico is in the process of sealing their southern border:
Interior Secretary Olga Sanchez Cordero said the new administration will end the practice of undocumented or illegal crossings over the Suchiate River, which marks much of the border between Mexico and Guatemala.
“In the south there will be only one entry, on the bridge,” she said. “Anyone who wants to enter illegally, we are going to say: ‘Get in line and you can enter our country.’”
Sanchez Cordero offered no details on how that would be done, however.

now why in the world would they want to prevent illegals from entering their country?
anyone?
Maybe Mexico should just give them $50,000 a head to stay on their side.
I think banning "Baby it's Cold Outside" was a bridge too far.
Likewise I am not surprised that more and more people are looking at the media for culpability regarding the lack of civility in our country.
i don't blame the media as much as i blame social media, the academy peddling their 'safe-space/triggering/social justice/snowflake bullshit, and the cowardice of corporate america.
someone says something, posts something, tweets something and all it takes is one or two liberal fucksticks with a PC POV, and everyone scrambles to apologize and kiss their ass.
we need a whole lot less "i'm sorry's" and a whole lot more "GO FUCK YOURSELVES" if we're to return to sanity in this country.
your post is timely. check this out:

You're dodging the real world problem by the President and his insane withdrawal from Syria.
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Thursday welcomed President Trump’s announcement of a withdrawal of American troops from Syria, calling it “the right decision.”
Mr. Trump said on Wednesday that he was ordering the withdrawal because the United States military had achieved its goal of defeating the Islamic State militant group in Syria. But the move caught many by surprise, including some of his military and diplomatic advisers. It has also drawn criticism, even among Republicans, for abandoning Kurdish allies in the fight against the Islamic State and for aiding the geopolitical ambitions of Iran and Russia in the Middle East.
Speaking at his annual news conference, which typically runs for several hours, Mr. Putin said he broadly agreed that the Islamic State had been defeated in Syria. “Donald’s right, and I agree with him,” Mr. Putin said.
You are a coward like this President.
Resistance is Futile!

GUTLESS PRESIDENT IN WALL-LESS COUNTRY
December 19, 2018
If you were elected president after decades of politicians doing nothing about the millions of illegals pouring into our country every year, committing crimes, dealing drugs, driving drunk, molesting children and killing Americans like Kate Steinle, and your central campaign promise -- repeated every day -- was to build a wall, wouldn't you have spent the entirety of your transition period working on getting it done?
Wouldn't you have been building prototypes, developing relationships with key congressional allies and talking to military leaders about using the Seabees or the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall?
Wouldn't you skip the inauguration and take the oath of office in San Diego so you could get started on supervising wall construction immediately after putting your hand on the Bible and being sworn in as the leader of the free world?
You would if you meant it.
Well, Donald Trump didn't do that.
OK, sure he could have taken the oath in D.C., gone to a few balls, then started the wall on day two of his presidency. But he didn't do that either.
Maybe I'm a literalist. A zealot. When people kept telling me to be patient -- the wall is coming! -- I nursed a private hope that I was wrong, and they were right.
It is now crystal clear that one of two things is true: Either Trump never intended to build the wall and was scamming voters all along, or he has no idea how to get it done and zero interest in finding out.
He sacrifices every opportunity to make the wall happen.
For two years, Trump pretended to believe the president of the United States needs express authorization from Congress to defend the nation's borders and blamed the Republican majority for not "funding" the wall.
In a few weeks, he'll start blaming the Democratic House.
Last week -- several whole days ago -- Trump said over and over again that he would shut down the government if he didn't get funding for the wall -- the precise thing he claims he needs. "We need border security. The wall is a part of border security," he said. "If we don't have border security, we'll shut down the government

yeah, that's how we roll, alky. we have principles, and when a politician fails to keep the central promise of their campaign and what got them elected, people get pissed and withdraw support. i'm right there with her. if trump let's himself get rolled by a lying, duplicitous, feckless cunt like pelosi, i'm probably done.
unlike you who would've continued to fellate 0linsky no matter what he did. i guess the taste of magic negro gravy was just too sweet to resist, eh?

You are just insensitive about Otter shaming... if you understood the extreme emotional damage that can come from such behavior, then you would change your tune!
