“Those who slander the deplorables and irredeemables assume that they can say almost anything and expect no pushback.” And this is the real key. This is the exemption, this is the license to hate. They can say whatever they want, and there isn’t going to be one negative reaction to these people. They are not going to be held accountable. There won’t be any pushback. They get to say all this stuff with freedom.

“We are learning that the entire idea of political correctness was never much about universal ideas of tolerance of the other, or insistence that language and protocols must not stigmatize individuals by lumping them into stereotyped and dehumanized collective groups. What we are witnessing, instead, is that it is fine to demonize millions, from their appearance to their purported hygiene and smell to affinities with feces and apes—if it serves political or cultural agendas.”

Rush added: In other words, you can be as mean-spirited and extremist and filled with hate all you want, as long as your target is Trump voters and Republicans. You’ll be hailed and applauded and invited back over and over again on cable news to continue the vitriol and the hatred. “Cultural progressivism is about raw power, not principle.”
