Sure, but I'm not for social "lynchings" of genuinely impolite people either.

All these progressive beliefs are in reality a minority, the problem is they're by far the loudest and create a toxic envrionment for anyone that doesn't bow down to them. |
You are just so used to the status quo that you pay attention more to things that deviate from it, that is why.

Not really, because the current status quo is a progressive authoritarian empire. So if what you said was true I'd pay more attention to instances of non progressive abuses, which exist, but unfortunately the real existential crisis atm is progressive oppression.

How dare society tell us there's a respectful to act? There's always social pressure to be polite. You expect people to be nice to you regardless of what you do? Call people "fat" and they should smile and say "thank you, sir." If that's not what you expect, welcome to PC.
Give me some examples of what you think are PC. |
Polite is very relative. Whats base level polite here in NYC is sure as heck not polite in many other places I've been to.

Progressive? That is what you think the Trump administration is? Also, you just agreed that it was a minority of people who thought that way, now somehow it is the status quo.

Then why does it have "correct" in the title?

A minority has ruled over a majority MANY times in history. Trump administration has been the misguided attempt to fight back against that status quo, but it doesn't fundamentally change the progressive oppression we're living under.

What's correct in politics is usually wrong in life.

Yes, a minority has ruled over a majority, but how can it be the status quo if it is a minority and the current administration is against it?

Administrations are irrelevant. Progressivesim is the current status quo in the media, universities, our tax system, how we approach free speech, how we treat police, every aspect of society.
