“Political Correctness” is a myth, we just want people stop being assholes. What parents would want their child to grow up acting like Donald Trump? 

You do realize that political correctness comes straight out of the playbook of the old Soviet Union.  Marxist governments have an absolute need to eliminate freedom of speech from a society less people will realize that they have become slaves to their own government.  I quote Wikipedia but you can find this in basically any history book:

All media in the Soviet Union were controlled by the state including television and radio broadcasting, newspaper, magazine and book publishing. This was achieved by state ownership of all production facilities, thus making all those employed in media state employees. This extended to the fine arts including the theater, opera and ballet. Art and music was controlled by ownership of distribution and performance venues.

Censorship was backed in cases where performances did not meet with the favor of the Soviet leadership with newspaper campaigns against offending material and sanctions applied though party controlled professional organizations.

This is exactly where we are now:  the establishment that controls Washington and Obama also controls virtually all print and television media.  Alternative online media is being labelled as "fake news" and is being censored actively by online services.  Factual evidence that incriminated Hillary and the democrats was treated as unsubstiated rumors during the election while Trump was blasted as being "Hitler" or worse while he has never even called for violent acts to be comitted against individuals or groups of people.  The real reason the media and establishment hates Trump is because he is not controlled by them, you need to wake up because political correctness is a construct that is meant to control your mind and your thoughts.  By subscribing to political correctness your mind will be shielded from ever questioning those who control the message no matter how heinous their crimes are.  Simple answers don't exist in this world, and sometimes people need to be impolite in order to warn you about the bad things that are going on.

Freedom of Speech does not equal being able to say whatever the hell you want and people just smiling about it. 

Societally we've evolved to the point where being a racist or sexist or homophobic asshole isn't as permitted today. 

There's nothing Marxist about our society, lol, there's never probably been a more hyper-consumerist/capitalist society in the history of the world. Corporations even have the same rights of individuals now and completely own both political parties. There's never been greater income inequality in the US. 

Hitler did not start off putting people in concentration camps, he started off with rhetoric, picking mainly on Jews for most of Germany's problems. When a politican starts scape goating minority groups for political gain, it should send off red flags, it's a despicable tactic.
