The extreme PC nature taking root in this country, at least on the left, not to mention the SJW crowd....this has played more than a small part in the emergence of Trump.

An excellent point. Trump is far less than ideal and his popularity only shows how fed up a large portion of our population is with the very elements you describe. I'll be the first to admit that some of these concerns are rooted in a desire for the ways of the past, which I do not support. However, an even more significant portion of this support is in reaction to the extreme overreach going on right now. Safe spaces, microaggressions, privilege, etc. has clearly gone over the bend, it's no longer about being treated equally it's about extracting your pound of flesh. It's not surprising, extremists always go too far, we've seen evidence of this from both ends of the spectrum in the past twenty years. Finally, I think a lot of white people are beyond tired of being lectured about their supposed inherent racism.
