The Deception of Political Correctness

There was a time that people said what they felt.  It might be coarse, it might offend, but it was honest.  One was left no doubt of the prejudice or perception of the speaker.

Now that so many words and opinions are not permitted, people resort to a form of ‘doublespeak’, (as portrayed in 1984) in which they make statements they don’t really mean.

For example; Make America Great Again.

What does that mean?

The mind dead, or very young, would think; ‘Oh, that means America isn’t Great any more and Trump is going to Make it Great Again.”

Those who understand Doublespeak know he is saying; “Make America White Again.”

Almost everyone who voted for him Knows what he said.   A few stupid ones might not have the mental acuity required.  But what he meant was obvious.    This is because since he can’t say the word ‘white’ he choses a one syllable word which those who know, know, and those who don’t understand, won’t.

Doublespeak.

The ‘Tea Party’, a racist organisation, never used words which could suggest they were against the Black Man in the White House.  They used all sorts of terms and distractions, so that they would sound ‘politically correct’.

This kind of deception is forced to be practiced.   Sure, one doesn’t want to hear the offensive terms, but the fact they are being replaced by meaningless words is only deception.   A deception which, like doublespeak, is to deceive.

One can not say Bad in 1984.  One can say; ‘ungood’.   Although the meaning of ‘ungood’ is bad,  the word ‘bad’ is removed.  It can not be said, it can not be thought.  So the concept is twisted.

Trump knows that using the meaningless terms, the unsupported statements, the announcements without planning, could not work in reality.  But can work in the fantasy world of ‘alternate facts’.

So, he will Make America White Again; by getting rid of Hispanics, of Muslims, and then, other non-whites.  But he will do so in such manner, hidden from the eyes and ears of the respected press.

For Trump has barred the real reporters from his Press Conferences.  So only the deceptions can emerge.
