Because that's how they shutdown debate, or even pre-emptively avoid it because you know you'll be shamed if you say something.
The so-called "party of ideas" hasn't really wanted to talk or sell any of its ideas for a long time....and so have been relying almost exclusively on identity politics and looking for the next group of victims to exploit for political gain.
I think a lot of Trump voters gave all that a big middle finger - not going to let political correctness be a weapon wielded to suppress debate and opposition.
