Me neither.
Agreed, thicker skin for many folks would be nice.
I don't get this. How are you defining "politically correct"? My experience with IFBs, and many many examples of online video preaching clips would verify this, that they are the opposite of politically correct, LOL.
I don't lose sleep over what other people say either, however, ideas have consequences. And who we promote as examples, "role models" if you will, ought to be people who attain to a a minimum level of civility. That principle is even more enforceable in my opinion because we are Christians, so the bar should be set higher for what we tolerate in the realm of civics and politics.
This is where I think you're losing most people. Just because you don't have a personal relationship with people doesn't mean you can't evaluate their ideas by the words that they espouse. The policies that they would promote are not immune from examining the words in which they promote them. It's not just a matter of the offensive nature in which he selects language, but the ideology behind them. The misogyny, bigotry, anti-Semitism, etc. Those character traits of speech, oftentimes for people who are put in places of power and leadership become legalized policies that actually hurt people, and I'm not just talking about words, but policies. It is not "America first" to denigrate women. It is not "America first" to harm its citizens by using language that treats them as a class of people that gets put into ovens like chocolate chip cookies.
If he toned it down he'd lose his groupies.
I don't think you're stupid bro, just a tad bit misguided.
