I got to thinking about this more after I heard right wing star Dr. Ben Carson claim that political correctness and its paramilitary enforcement arm, the PC police, have made America very much like Nazi Germany, so much in fact that were living in a Gestapo Age. When I first read this it struck me as more of your standard right-wing performance, something between trolling and a form of extreme faux-victimization self-indulgence. In other words, The Crazy. But this one sat with me for a bit longer. The problem in Nazi Germany, to put it generously, was not harshly enforced mores against using denigrating language to describe marginalized or minority populations. It was rather the systemic, state-driven denigration, victimization and eventually extermination of classes of people who the regime believed were undesirable or polluting the countrys dominant racial makeup And your neighborhood republican friend votes for this disgusting crap?
