I saw it coming around 2011, when it was painfully obvious political correctness was heading gradually into state sponsored censorship and politically incorrect bias... 

That makes no sense at all. The state is anti-political correctness: why else are blacks disproportinately arrested, and why do women receive lower wages than men? Why are all 7 countries that the United States bombs Muslim majority? The next leader of the country is sexist and racist, so I fail to see how political correctness is in any way state sponsored. Censorship also doesn't make sense, since the U.S. government allows for protests by white-supremacist KKK members, yet sends a military-like police force to Native American protesters.

Allow me to ellucidate. 

1. Living, education and crime which lead to a vicious cycle (best way to keep blacks of prison is to create safer spaces and ensure they have good education and healthcare. 

2. There are some jobs women don't like. IT firms are still mostly men and it's not because women are not taken seriously, but because they have no interest, and some of what they hate are among the higher paying jobs. 

3. The US does have a bad case of sheep herd syndrome. They started one war in the Middle East, now it's a string of wars in the Middle East. Without someone with a radically different worldview, this probably will remain as it is. 

4. The next leader spoke to people who others thought weren't discriminated against and this was nothing but bull. EVERYONE is discriminated against one way or another, but some people are shortsighted and often think the only way to help a minority is by shafting those in power. We've seen how that turns out. 

5. Sadly, you're right on this one. The US does have an small racist streak for reasons elluding me. The problem started when people had expectations of what you should say in X situation. The government didn't censor innocents, the people did and you are able to see it on Twitter right now (saying you like Trump is a good way to piss of people, even if you didn't approve of his bias and voted Trump solely because the future of the world was potentially at stake).
