You say "meaner," I say "Less repressed by political correctness."  I, personally, am tired of having to be careful in the words I use when I speak.  I was starting to sound like Obama, searching for just the right word so to come off as non-opinionated as possible so as not to offend anyone.  He learned a big lesson from the politically correct tyrants early in his term when he mentioned "Jerry's Kids" during an interview.

Many people who voted for Trump were tired of being told how to think, how to speak, and who to like or dislike.  Talk about a lack of freedom.
