Hm. I agree. The very fact that many liberals spent the entire year “shaming” Trump voters and Trump won should be evidence enough. You might enjoy my essay that I finally “published” months after the election:

Yes, “Political Correctness”* Did Help Trump Win Last Week

* I Prefer My Own Term “New Correctness” Because Conservatives Just Thwart “PC” to Be Jerks.

EXCERPT: One shouldn’t be surprised Trump won by campaigning daily against political correctness, a smart tactic when nearly 60% of Americans believe “too many people are easily offended these days over the language that others use.” It’s no wonder Trump “won” the election when during the latter part of the Obama presidency blacks and whites believed racism is getting far worse — with many whites thinking it’s more of a problem against them than it is for blacks. Indeed, 6 in 10 Americans believed race relations were worsening in 2016 to a 25-year low point. The Black Lives Matter versus All Lives Matter exemplfied this split. What’s telling? There’s really no evidence racism and intolerance is more prevalent today than 10, 20 or 25 years ago — or even police violence in general.
