    1. One big problem with the @douthat column is it conflates two separate discourses about political correctness (Trump's & academic)

        2. If you listen to Trump's speeches (which you should do!), when he says PC he doesn't mean trigger warnings of liberal cable news shows.

        3. By political correctness Trump means end of Christian cultural hegemony (Happy Holidays!) and respect for human rights (no waterboarding)

        Simply because "smarty pants right-writers" and "racist deplorables" have common ground doesn't need negate one or other.

        I do think liberals can tend to be smug and intellectual.. that said, we shouldn't dumb it down.

        one of my MAJOR pains w/twitter is it's SO difficult to TAG who you want to mention. e.g. this is not Douthat's account.

        Funny, @morganwarstler, but "gay curious" isn't a thing. It's "bi-curios", and he was surely gay, not bi @chrislhayes @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT
