Seriously, though, I think it's always best to treat people the way they want to be treated, and speak about them the way they want to be spoken about.

This is not "being PC." It's simple human decency and common sense.

its because they have found this is a position of strength and they have got several people fired and have got a man to sell his NBA franchise after his private convo was recorded. I'm all for firing people when they say stupid sh*t in public then fine but what people say in their own home in private shouldn't have something you own be effectively taken away. Regardless of how sh*itty of a person he is.

Actually, many Republicans claim that Trump is a Democrat.

Do a little research on George Wallace. Be sure to note his party affiliation and what he "accomplished". It's a far greater record of racism than anything associated with Donald Trump.

Democrats supported slavery. Republicans ended slavery. Do some research on Abraham Lincoln. He was a Republican.

They were coddled and spoiled and told they were special snowflakes and got awards just for participating, and they think that they have a right to never be offended by anything or anyone, ever. They are in for some hard knocks.

FYI, slavery, the Klan, and segregation were all closely tied to the Democratic Party. Look it up.
