Re: Where did "anti-PC" backlash come from?

How extreme people have gotten, the issues with internet discourse, and and how personal the attacks can get is an issue, and the more extreme and aggressive things get the easier it is to dismiss the other side. Trump is extreme and aggressive, and for what it's worth there are more extreme conservatives in power than extreme leftists (even before Trump, like the Tea Party - there's no real liberal equivalent to them with political power) so their policies will be discussed more. Should I, as a liberal, try to understand and communicate with them? I would say yes, but a lot of them would dismiss me and my arguments on a knee jerk basis and dismiss me as misguided or even an SJW because of my politics, as many of the users here dismiss conservatives on a knee jerk basis. That's probably where some of the frustration comes from.

There are things people on opposing sides can connect with. For example, there are many of my followers and online peers whose politics I disagree with for various reasons. I don't pick a fight with them, but try to connect on things we have in common that don't relate to politics.
