P.C. To blame for Trump?

I think that Trump gets by on Navitist thinking, and the author of this piece has a bone to pick with pc culture, possibly only doing so because it makes him seem rebellious.
For example:

Quote:

"The extremist adherents of this new political correctness have essentially taken a flamethrower to the public space and annihilated its center. Topics in American life that once were the legitimate subjects of debate between liberals and conservative are now off-limits and lead to immediate attack by the cultural establishment if raised at all. Any incorrect position, any expression of the Constitutional right to a different opinion, or even just a slip of the tongue can lead to public ostracism and the loss of a job. (Just ask Brendan Eich.) There is a huge vacuum left by this leftist attack on speech, and it Trump is filling it."

Well the right does the same in these situations so that can't be it (see here: http://ift.tt/1OGi7aj

At the very least calling it leftist is silly when everyone does it.

Quote:

"Gay marriage is a good example. Liberals wanted gay marriage to win in the Supreme Court, and it did. Leftists wanted more: to silence their opponents even after those opponents completely lost on the issue. Ugly language that good liberals would normally deplore emerged not in the wake of defeat, but of victory: actor and gay activist George Takei, for example, actually called Justice Clarence Thomas a “clown in blackface” and said Thomas had “abdicated” his status as an African-American. That’s heavy stuff, and it would likely scan better written in Chinese on a paper dunce cap."

Now to be fair Thomas's dissent was based on pretty shifty logic.
Again, Trump relies on bad logic as seen here: http://ift.tt/1EAPir5
So how is PC to blame for his rise?
