With all of the rumors flying around on who has been selected for cabinet posts, will President-elect Trump make the elimination of political correctness a priority for his transition process? Before and especially after his shocking victory, many from the left have called his aversion to political correctness equal to bigotry, racism, and sexism, even calling his supporters “deplorables.”
Instead of name calling, feelings getting hurt, or retreating to a safe space, his aversion to political correctness could be seen as something positive while he transitions into his new role. It will definitely be different to have a president who will actually tell you how something is instead of dancing around the subject or censoring it for your own good.

You mean the same President-elect who complained that the theaters should be "safe spaces" after the Vice-President elect was jeered by the audience (not the cast) of one? Before anyone throws respectability argument my way I will just remind you that the outgoing President was heckled by a sitting member of Congress in a State of the Union speech. In any case, if you think Trump's milk toast denunciations in New York times of White Nationalists who convene in a hotel to salute the PEOTUS with the Nazi salute declaring "Heil Trump" is enough then good for you, some of us have to live with the dangers of emboldened forces of hate who would gladly harm us for existing. I expect more from the next President but I have prepared myself for disappointment already.
