How the fuck do these people not know what a colossal asshole Andrew Jackson was? I'm not even from the US and I know he was a genocidal dick.

And I'm also curious as to exactly what these people want to say that political correctness is stopping them from saying.

Also not clear on how political correctness is stopping them from saying anything, what with that pesky 1st amendment and so on, but anyway.

either way, *quality

What they mean is, they want to say all the racist, bigoted, homophobic, misogynist bullshit they can spew out. And still have everyone like, respect and not marginalize them afterwards.

Boring.

Cherry picking Trump supporters to find the least informed people.

It would be trivial to do the same with Hillary supporters.

They don't know because most people don't know most things.

You probably don't know 0.1% of relevant American history (I know I don't). That you happen to have known who Andrew Jackson was is just simple coincidence.

You're very correct about PC not stopping shit (in the context of the USA). They have constitutionally protected free speech so they can say what they want with very few exceptions.

I don't mind if they don't know things, and you're completely right in that I don't know 0.1% of relevant history, be it American, Kiwi or anywhere else.

OTOH, because I don't know said history I don't go around comparing people to historical figures I don't know about.

I wouldn't compare Hillary to Kate Sheppard, for example, because I only barely know who she is.
