In recent years, debates surrounding “political correctness” (PC) have once again intensified in the United States and other Western countries. Although PC has a long history, the term today is typically associated with a type of leftist-progressive puritanism that prevents people from speaking their minds or voicing uncomfortable truths that might “offend” members of marginalized groups or communities. In many respects, the political ascendancy of Donald J. Trump, and his appeal to millions of people not only in the USA, but around the world, hinges on the belief that his presidency represents a repudiation of the repressiveness associated with PC. Indeed, throughout his political campaign, Trump declared himself to be an “anti-PC” president who would always “speak his mind” and “tell it like it is.” However, while many celebrated Trump’s maverick, anti-PC stance, others saw this as an attack on basic standards of decency and civil discourse. Timely and important, this collection is authored by scholars from various disciplines, and will be of interest to educators, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as anyone interested in the debates associated with the so-called “culture wars” in the West. Each chapter addresses how the PC debate has continued to shape social and political discourse in different areas, including race relations, gender issues, terrorism and national security, higher education, the media, and immigration. The point is made that while some of the criticisms directed against PC are worthy of serious consideration and discussion, it is also true that PC, particularly in the era of Trump, has been increasingly employed as a form of ideological scapegoat to delegitimize and roll back language, attitudes, values, behaviors, and policies that are vital for promoting objectives associated with gender and racial equality, human rights, democracy, empathy, fairness, multiculturalism, and inclusive curricula.

This book is designed to represent the thought process of an independent, middle-class voter. After a lifetime of experience in a wide range of occupations, the author hopes to express opinions using humor and insight by adding a variety of personal-interest vignettes that are presented as commentary. Independents will have a significant impact on the 2020 elections. The reasons why I voted for Donald Trump were articulated in detail and were based on my analysis of what an average, hardworking American, Middle Class Independent Voter felt about the Political, Cultural, and Economic conditions that existed at the onset of the 2016 Presidential Election. Donald Trump appeared on the scene at the precise time he was needed. The Middle Class was hurting financially and their dreams for a better life had been ignored by both parties for decades. Spending so many years working dead end jobs or even two jobs barely allowed us to keep our heads above water. The politically correct culture wars drained our strength and tested our patience. The political parties that we had trusted were, elitist, disappointing and arrogant which is why we became Independent voters! Donald Trump instinctively knew we were ripe for the picking. We instinctively knew that he was the right one to pick. And we did!

A timely examination of progressive politics in the era of radical populism. Since 2016, western democracies have experienced a series of political earthquakes, spectacularly upending conventional political wisdom. Everywhere, outsider politicians rail against 'the elite'. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, the populist mood has benefited reactionaries rather than reformers. The status quo might be in crisis, but the emerging voices are those of hate and violence. Where is the progressive alternative? In Trigger Warnings, Jeff Sparrow sympathetically but critically examines key progressive ideas. How does a billionaire position himself as anti-elitist? Are the culture wars worth fighting? What's at stake in the battles over political correctness? Should progressives defend it -- and, if so, how? Sparrow traces the evolution of the Left and Right to explain the origins of this strange evolution, untangling some of the thorniest controversies of our time and arguing that the future needn't only belong to nihilists and bigots.

This book seeks to address the relation of political philosophy and Donald Trump as a political phenomenon through the notions of patriotism, cosmopolitanism, and civic virtue. Political philosophers have been prescient in explaining trends that may explain our political misgivings. Madison warned during the debates on the Constitution that democracies are vulnerable to factions based on passion for personalities and beliefs; various continental thinkers have addressed the problem of nihilism—the modern loss of faith in objective standards of truth and morality—that in Max Weber’s analysis pointed to the importance of charisma, in Carl Schmitt’s to the idea that politics is essentially rooted in the definition of friends and enemies, and in early Heidegger resulted in the emphasis on the enduring significance of local, rather than cosmopolitan values. The former concerns—regarding demagoguery, charisma and nihilism—will enable an evaluation of Trump as a political character, while the latter concerns—regarding the status of universal versus local values—will enable us to evaluate the content of “Trumpism.” Taken together, these essays seek to advance the public conversation about the relationship between the rise of Trump and the ideological forces that seek to justify that rise.

The contemporary definition of "political correctness" did not begin to enter the cultural consciousness of Americans until the 1980s. Allan Bloom's criticism of higher education in The Closing of the American Mind sparked a conflict that has been continually discussed, satirized, and rehashed. With the election of President Trump in 2016 came a reenergized attack on P.C. culture, and a new wave of cultural critique in film, television, comedy, and literature. The New York Times articles collected in this volume cover the defining and redefining of political correctness since its inception, and suggest how this contentious concept may develop into the future. Media literacy questions and terms are included to further engage readers with the collection.

Political correctness, better known as “PC,” flourished in institutions of higher learning in the 1990s. With the rise of social media, a second wave of PC culture has emerged that is more aggressive than the first. It seems to many that nearly everyone is a target, at risk of being labeled a racist or misogynist based on one short tweet. The movement, though intended to be inclusive and pluralistic, has its detractors. Is political correctness protective or is it an attack on freedom? Do knee-jerk reactions cancel out the opportunity for thoughtful discourse? And what does this culture mean for our future?

Since man first harnessed consciousness, we have watched and learnt. Observing the traits and behaviours of every facet in our environment. This means we have an ability to predict what is safe, comfortable and reliable. In our own mind this creates an invaluable safety net for our decision-making processes. But what seems like a useful tool in our head, can be cruel and patently unfair beyond it. Trends in a world driven by the Internet are educating us about how harmful stereotyping can be. And those falling foul of a behaviour seemingly ingrained in our DNA, are paying high-profile prices. Locker Room Talk examines how we got here, why it’s so hard to change our mindset and the consequences for us and the brands we represent, if we do not.

WHAT MAKES A LIFELONG ACTIVIST, who has promoted diversity and social justice since childhood, contend that politically correct culture undermines inclusion and hurts the people it is intended to protect? In This book is NOT a safe space, Corinna Fales tells you-in a punchy, funny, personal way-how she realized that PC is a booby-trap. Corinna, whose parents' families were murdered by the Nazis, grew up at the first Historically Black College/University before desegregation. She visited migrant camps as a girl, went to jail for civil rights, and slept in her bathtub to avoid the National Guard's bullets when Newark exploded in 1967. In 1968, she protested the Vietnam War, was thrown into Cook County Jail, and became an unindicted co-conspirator of the Chicago Seven. To find out why this still active #MeToo woman thinks that PC is perilous, and discover what she proposes as a way forward, read between these covers.

A biting satire of Donald Trump's spectacular oratory skill (or lack thereof!), here is a hilarious send-up. The author re-imagines the political speeches Donald Trump WOULD give if he used a TelePrompTer. But, as we know, Trump doesn't use a TelePrompTer-resulting in a disconnect between what's in his mind and what comes out of his mouth. That is, until now! Arranged by topic, the faux speeches, in all their glorious stream of consciousness, examine why Trump believes: - Hillary Clinton cannot be president - The media are not to be trusted - America must defend its "world-class" brand - A Border Wall will be good for Mexico - We must renegotiate terrible, terrible trade deals - "Political Correctness" is a threat to free speech . . . and many more subjects. With his characteristic bluntness-"Rosie O'Donnell is a fat pig," "Anderson Cooper's left testicle hangs lower than his right," and "Tim Gunn isn't doing Heidi Klum any favors by not helping her camouflage her sagging body"-the bombastic billionaire's essence is distilled like a fine Mexican tequila. Love him or loathe him, here is some classic political satire.
