Sam Harris explains why Trump is a dangerous candidate.

The thing is that I agree with most of Sam Harris arguments in principle, Trump is a rude, anti-intellectual moron, I just put different weight on the gravity of those issues and therefore arrive at a different conclusion. The good offsets the bad, which is essentially that Trump canalizes so much of sane ideas that are urgently needed as a counter-weight in an increasingly cultural marxist Western world. And I believe that in office as the President of USA, the big system around him would restrict Trump from doing much of the radical unrealistic stuff, and while in power he would take on a much more mature, pragmatic and responsible role.

But on the other hand Trump's crazy personality could very well be detrimental to the whole conservative movement though, which is why I'm not entirely sure if it's best that he actually gets into office. Perhaps a successful campaign to raise these questions up on the agenda in the public discussion, him losing the election and then a more articulate intellectual taking over the mission for the future would be a much better option.

He actualy talks about political correctness in the video aswell.  Sam Harris is largely against political correctness because it can harm critical debate (a point that I agree with him on) but as he says in the video "Being a bully, and a braggart, and a buffoon is not the only way to disavow political correctness."

 

Oh, and you use the term 'Cultural Marxism' alot, and if you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to expand on what you mean by that. Because my experience with that term is largely connected to white-nationalism and anti-semitism.
