Re: Holy Fucking Shit, Donald Trump

Agreed. Having a filter is a good thing. But people like to turn everything into a dichotomy. You're either never saying what you think because you're too concerned with how people will react or you're bravely speaking your mind no matter what others think. I think celebrating that second one has gotten worse since rhetoric about PC-ness has gotten more popular, about how people are just waiting to attack if you use a word that sociology students have decided is offensive. Certain groups of people get focused on the PC enemy and get distracted from cases when you really do need some tact.

Or maybe my brain is making weird connections tonight.

Oh, you're absolutely right about that. People who like Trump "telling it like it is" are indeed often the same ones griping about how this country's gotten so "PC". And that's a whole other rant unto itself.

And you're also right about the dichotomy, too. I'm all for people being honest and saying what they really believe and think in and of itself, because I do think that is a necessary thing (even if what they say is offensive-at least in that case, you know that's how they genuinely feel and think, and can use that information going forward, there's less risk of being unpleasantly surprised or fooled as a result). But there's good ways to do that, and bad ways to do that. And Trump definitely falls into the "bad ways" example.
