Those lawmakers and elected officials are afraid of what liberal political correctness would do to their careers.   Political correctnes is censorship and is the most powerful and effective weapon that the Marxist-liberals have at their disposal to suppress the TRUTH and silence free speech.   Political correctness also acts as a protective shield against the TRUTH for socialist-liberals.  Have you ever noticed when you tell the TRUTH to a socialist-liberal, you can see in their eyes that their brains are SHORT-CIRCUITING?  I have observed that when attempting truthful intellectual discourse with a socialist-liberal, their eyes will first glaze over, while they are attempting to process what you have just said, they will then argue with you, then will start shouting at you and finally they will become physically violent with you all because of the TRUTH!
