I wonder, if he did get elected, would this country actually start to like politicians that tell the truth? Or would we have to endure supposed offense at everything he ever says?

Only if the truth is something good. This country has gotten so used to sugar coating, and PCness, and not hurting anyones feelings that people don't want to hear anything negative, unless it sounds positive.

I don't expect this to change over what we've experienced for the last 16 years (and I'm sure happened before then I just wasn't so aware).

Those not in power will take offense at every possible thing, generally not for their own offense but on behalf of other people.
