Being tolerant is considered a requirement for anyone who wishes to be considered a liberal or

[Atticus]

any type of decent person. We have been lectured that we should not disregard or disrespect the views of others with whom we do not agree. Rather, we should simply "agree to disagree" because there are "two sides to every story". This is bullshit.

I can tolerate anyone who chooses a different lifestyle, has their own version of spirituality, is a different color or loves differently than I do. But, I WILL not be tolerant of fools---exactly the correct descriptor---whose loud and mean-spirited blather is transparently idiotic. This includes nearly everything vomited out of Trump's puckered pie hole and, of course, the mewling sycophants who always agree with every absurdity which he anoints as fact.

Many of the talking heads on TV, nearly all of the doctors and scientists and other government experts, continue to respect the rancid aberration in the White House. They soft-pedal any outrageous stupidity spewed by Trump. There are dozens and dozens of examples, but perhaps the most egregious is Dr. Deborah Birx's reaction to Trump's suggestion that somehow getting disinfectants of UV lights "inside" of our bodies could destroy Corona virus. She was maybe ten feet away from him when he said this and when he turned to her to comment---she basically kissed his ass as she sought to avoid saying "That is a ridiculous suggestion and could lead to people ingesting toxic substances!"

Finally, most commentators will call Trump's lies "lies". But, they need to go further. They need to add words like "fool" and "idiot" and "ridiculous" and, yes, please, "bullshit" to their on-air vocabulary when covering the Trump regime.

1. being tolerant to a christofascist means you should say nothing, challenge nothing that say or do.

2. Completely agree.

I’m over being nice to someone who’s spewing hate filled bullshit, or at this point just bullshit hate filled or not. I’ve got the time to drill down on FB. It’s actually been kind of fun. It ends a lot with. “I’ve noticed that when some people are confronted with facts they don’t like they ....” and address whatever it is they posted that was off topic. Name calling or “well a meteor could hit the earth and we’d all be dead”

3. You're right

It's bullshit. We're required to coddle them and take their abuse without comment. Of course they're not required to do the same in return.

4. Tolerance, like everything, has its limits....

If people want to practice their religion in whatever way they see fit, I could care less. If that practice hurts others or they want to force their beliefs on the rest of us through legislation or force, I simply won't tolerate it. I could care less what someone's political or economic views are. But if those views insinuate or advocate harm to others, I simply won't tolerate it. If those political beliefs are a danger to the foundations of the republic, namely the rule of law, again, I simply won't tolerate it.

It's a simple rule, really. Mind your own damn business and do no harm. Think or believe whatever you like. I could care less. But it you become a danger to me or anyone else, particularly those not in a position to defend themselves, my tolerance quickly reaches its end.

Dr. Brix.....I think she likes her cushy job a bit too much. She apparently likes it more than the safety and security of Americans. In my mind that makes her a parasite that needs to be removed. I think she needs to spend more time with her family. And if I were her family, I wouldn't claim her.

5. There are very few who don't know trump is an idiot, fool, etc.

But, there are a bunch that don’t care as long as he pushes the ignorant white wing agenda.

[Celerity]

6. There are literally millions of MAGAts who think he is an Einsteinian level genius and and a

man-god walking the earth.

ZERO hyperbole there.

7. "Tolerance" blows chunks.

You either accept something, maybe something you are uncomfortable with, or you don't.

I celebrate diversity but I don't "tolerate" bullshit of any kind.

Tolerance is bullshit.

Generally the only people preaching tolerance are con artists who want you to tolerate their own vile intolerance.

The Republican party needs to die. So do many religions and ideologies.
