I do think the PC police have gone overboard to provide the ignorant air cover for being able to say things and get support from like minded folks.
When every blunt statement is deemed “insensitive” then we aren’t able to communicate difficult ideas. And then when someone says something that’s actually wrong, they blame the PC police and the topic goes into a black hole.
Part of the reason that Trump is able to rant about “fake news” is that there actually is a lot of exaggeration in media and many people cannot tell the difference. So then he gets to label wherever the he’ll he wants as fake and his followers nod their collective heads.
So it goes with political correctness.
If everything said is insensitive, then nothing is insensitive.
