[ExI] Trump victory as blowback for PC?

[Stathis Papaioannou]

It's worth quoting the first paragraph:

"I’m ashamed of my country and terrified about the future.  When Bush took
power in 2000, I was depressed for weeks, but I didn’t feel like I do now,
like a fourth-generation refugee in the United States—like someone who
happens to have been born here and will presumably continue to live here,
unless and until it starts to become unsafe for academics, or Jews, or
people who publicly criticize Trump, at which time I guess we’ll pack up
and go somewhere else (assuming there still is a somewhere else).
