It depends on who's whose ox is being gored. The poor poor regressives are being judged so harshly, So they invented politically correct to respond to issues that they are 100% wrong about but need something to keep face. All aspects of their invention (political correct) is out of the same can that the rest of their paranoia comes from.And pray tell who is organizing to punish, even destroy the reputation, livelihood, and/or opportunities of those who express a politically correct point of view?
The Westboro Baptists? They don't give a flying fig what anybody believes. They are in it for the money, trying to trigger lawsuits so that they can profit. Much as the ACLU does only in a different way. Utterly contemptible and self serving, but not what I was talking about.
The hate filled tweets or Facebook posts? Idiots on both sides of the aisle are equally guilty there, but they aren't organizing to physically and materially punish people.
Regardless of where it comes from though, tolerance is not tolerance unless both sides of an argument are allowed their point of view.
