> I was trying to break the perception that modern progressivism inherently nobleHorseshoe theory and all that, every generation with the 'new thing' probably thinks of themselves as Noble. It'll go out of fashion those same goody two-shoes people championing it will be the 'regressive' ones fighting against change before they know it.

Trump is basically Clickbait. Clinton ran an election like a traditional candidate, Trump won it like a Realty TV show as the underdog. PC Culture is fundamentally opposed to clickbait because that sort of arbitrary and unpredictable nature cannot be categorized or filtered quick enough to recognize whether it's 'PC' or not. It doesn't even matter if they're 'progressive'- liberals hate white feminists like Amy Schumer because she follows that unpredictable clickbait and won't fall in line. Along the original topic, It's fine to be an asshole with these people if your ideology is easily understood (See the circlejerk over libertarian George Carlin, despite being opposed to liberal ideology what's important is it's easy to understand and chart him), the real danger to them is with people like Trump who don't fit into the binary way of thinking.
Thus if something like a 'virtue signaling' comedian or Civil War/Confederacy depiction were allowed, it would only be tolerated if the ideals checked out along these simple political coordinates. Good and evil, black n white, clear sides. An easy narrative of least resistance.
