The left didn't like the real definition of tolerance, allowing those with different viewpoints the right to keep those viewpoints and speak about them. To them, the definition of tolerance is "approving of everything we like, and shouting down anything we don't like," something they make obvious on a very regular basis.
What I don't get is how anyone in the country can possibly look at the actions of both sides and still make stupid comments about racist, fascist, intolerant right-wingers.
I cannot remember if I posted this elsewhere here but here is a good one:
Own ItAlthough I am not a Democrat or a Republican, I used to understand why other people would choose to be one or the other. And I can still understand how some people can be Republicans, but it is beyond my comprehension how anyone could still be a Democrat in Wisconsin in the age of YouTube.
The Democrats’ response to losing an election here has been appalling; disgraceful conduct documented with phone cameras for the whole world to see. Democrat rallies and protests have been marked by profanity, intimidation, death threats, vandalism, trespassing on private residences, anti-American rhetoric, boycotts of neutral businesses, extortion, and fraud.
My dear Democrat friends, that is not what democracy looks like; it is what Democrats look like. Your Party has become vile, disgraceful, and disgusting, and you have lived long enough in denial of what and who you have become.
...
Nearly a third of the American electorate is now non-affiliated with either of the two major Parties; each Democrat/socialist/union rally drives more of you into our camp. You Democrats do not persuade us with temper tantrums, threats, profane personal attacks, and all manner of judicial chicanery.
I don’t even know what you stand for anymore; I don’t speak drum. <Highlight mine>
