Well, I'm not going to vote on this because Democrats are not the same as liberals, and Republicans are not the same as conservatives, and frankly, both political parties are ass.
As far as the message of the question goes... One side just wants to be peaceful and left alone and live in a society where their rights can not be infringed upon, and the other side wants to call them White supremacists, sexists, racists, Nazis, homophobes, and all the other sh*t you can think of, while looting and rioting and throwing temper tantrums for literally four years because their evil witch queen didn't win the popularity contest to be the American Wizard of OZ, while also being the most anti-white, anti-male, anti-Trump, closed-minded assholes to ever exist in modern history. So the conservatives are the more tolerant people in society right now.
I'm a Centrist, but it's pretty obvious the biggest pieces of sh*t nowadays are coming from the far-left. The ones so closed-minded and dumb, they want to call all Trump supporters evil while then also wondering why they keep losing elections and no one will support them.
Trump isn't even a figure no regular everyday person should give a sh*t about; the Democratic elites only hate him because they can't control him and he costs them money. Almost every American and non-American who hates Trump is just an idiotic sheep doing what CNN told them to. And to be clear, I mean HATES Trump, not just find him foolish, undignified, ridiculous, or a bad president or anything. The ones who think "if you support Trump, you're a Nazi." The Trump Derangement Syndrome people.
Again, he's the Clintons' arch enemy, not yours. Stop being such goddamn sheep and Useless Idiots. The Puritans, McCarthyists, and the Nazis are not remembered as the good guys in history, and that's what all you TDS people are. You'll be remembered as the a**holes of the 2010's. You literally create more Trump supporters than anything else. No one wants to rally behind vitriolic a**holes who'd rather see their own country fail than admit they were wrong four-f*cking-years ago! And I won't even get started on supporting Biden, a man who is quite literally everything you claim to hate about Trump...
Rant over.
Well I believe leftists and democrats talk about tolerance a lot more. It seems they are pretty intolerant as long as you believe exactly like they do. If you deviate in any thing even slightly you are pretty much vilified and they want you shamed, fired and ostracized.
They are also more into class warfare and pitting group against group, race against race, gender against gender. They classify everyone into a "group" and proceed accordingly depending on what your group is. They do not believe in "JUSTICE" they reject that for "SOCIAL JUSTICE". Everyone isn't treated equally. They take into account your group first then proceed. If you are black or white or poor or rich or male or female they first want to know that and it affects their judgement and reaction.
Hence... they go crazy standing against any criticism of islam and go nuts over any intense screening that may be done for people trying to migrate from a dangerous area that has a lot of violence and anti-west hatred. Then they freak out that this Supreme Court judge is a Catholic. Is there freedom of religion or not? Can you discriminate against religion or not? She doesn't even have to do anything... just the mere suggestion that she goes to church and has faith is some damning offense. They kind of pick and choose when to be tolerant and when not to.
That author from Harry Potter just made some remark discussion women and being trans or not. It wasn't any outlandish statement... she is pretty liberal but everyone had a conniption that she even uttered the comment a trans person might not be 100% woman or something. They wanted her banned. They hated her. She didn't follow every cutting edge agenda exactly as she is to think and if she disobeyed... they could try and ruin her life.
I think one party preaches tolerance a lot but deep down... they really are not tolerant.
Neither. There is a serious lack of tolerance from all sides in this country. Very few people genuinely listen to the other sides' viewpoints and respond rationally. While there are exceptions, it seems to me that hardly anyone values respectful dialogue with those they disagree with.
The right side. I can think on my own and not be bothered. If I say anything the left hates I get called a wetback, a traitor, racist, etc.
The left are loonies. Fuck them.

u I use two online dating sites. I have seen many female profiles that say, "If you voted for Trump, don't bother to contact me.". I have not seen a single profile that says, "If you voted for Clinton (or if you're going to vote for Biden,) don't bother to contact me.". Not a single one.
democrats view only their own news sources where republicans have a more balanced media diet https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2158244019832705
democrats 3x more likely to stop being friends over political differences https://fortune.com/2016/12/19/social-media-election/
here is a map with political intolerance laid out by county https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/03/us-counties-vary-their-degree-partisan-prejudice/583072/
note the strong correlation between left wing areas and intolerance
here is a study that shows conservatives can have their opinions on democrats changed. But democrats stay bigoted against republicans and won’t update their opinions http://depts.washington.edu/uwcssc/sites/default/files//Manbeck%202018.pdf
Tell a liberal your opposing stance on politics example build the wall, voting for trump, mentioning lies they tell about black people like systimic oppression police brutality etc. How often will you be called a racist, bigot and get pissed off at you just for having a difference stance. You could openly talk about political subjects on main stream media as long as its on the liberal side.. You hardly hear conservative politics on main stream media because often they will be back lash and fear of being canceled.
Of course they'll always be intolerance on both sides but on average it's liberals by far. Anyone in a neutral stand point who is aware of politics could see the answer. The answer is plastered all over main stream media.
The other day a very outspoken and confrontational liberal came into my job. She's a regular customer so she knows enough about me to know that I am a trump supporter. I also find her very physically attractive, so after she went on her usual spiel about how horrible Trump is I asked her if she wants to take me to dinner to tell me more about it. I was being completely cordial and transparent with her. Her response was "fuck you"! To me that is the epitome of a Democrat, only tolerant to people who share the same perspective which is essentially intolerance. Personally I don't hate her and I think there still a possibility she May reconsider and agree to spend some time with me.
In my circle of acquaintances, Republicans are as a rule more tolerant of differing opinions. There seems to be a greater amount of listening by Republicans that I know than there is by the Democrats I know. My social circle is pretty small, so I can't draw any general conclusions.
I can only speak for the US, where I live.
I used to consider myself a liberal, partly because I viewed liberals as tolerant and conservatives as intolerant, at least that was my perception based on a lot of things, but mostly the prominent rhetoric from liberals. But over the last six years or so I have learned that the exact opposite is true. Liberals today are by far the most intolerant and hate-driven segment of US society. You can see that clearly in the stuff posted daily here on GAG by some of the most prominent liberal users here, and of course in the real world all around us. You can almost see the foam around their mouths and the smoke coming out of their ears as you read what they have written. It's crazy.
I consider myself neither a liberal nor a conservative. But if I was forced to identify as one or the other, it would be conservative. I am truly ashamed of what liberalism has become today.
Republicans by far and it isn't even remotely close. The Dems look have this insidious worldview where they place people in discrete categories (e. g rich and poor, white and black) and presume that differences between these categories is due to some kind of injustice in our institutions like racism or money in politics. If you like these institutions they proclaim that you must support the mechanisms within them by which they supposedly keep people of another category down. And so we have gotten to the point that if you stand for the anthem, the democrats will accuse you of being a racist who doesn't care about BLM. Ironically, that hapoened to a black man... Democrats hate diversity of thought, and they hate people who love their country, its history, and its institutions.
Republicans, and it’s not even close. The left created cancel culture... not the right!!!
if you disagree with the left on anything, it’s because your Racist, homophobic, Xenophobic or just a cisgender breeding asshole!!! the left is eating itself alive right now. When you decide to view the world through the lenses of “oppressor” and “oppressed”. You start to find victims and evil people every where you look!! Welcome to the religion of “wokeness”
Republicans, and if anyone thought different all they need to do is look at the latest circus they have going on with the SCOTUS. Lol, all I am waiting for is try to say she sexually assaulted someone and then METOO will have a whole new meaning. Especially after the multiple times they show their double standards when it is one of their own.
I'm gonna be a genius and say the Republicans are more tolerant because they haven't been in the streets for over 120 burning shit down, killing people for supporting their political opposition, and looting stores, threatening stores, and beating up anyone they can get their grubby little hands on. Can't say that about the Democraps.
A black man is welcomed in open arms at a Trump rally. If he puts on a MAGA hat, he’d be harassed at a Biden ‘rally’.
Left: Cancel everyone who agrees with us, harrass diners out at night who are not bothering us, stop traffic for people trying to get to work
Right: Leave us alone and we'll leave you alone
Neither is tolerant. Tolerance you see how much they stamp their feet on the things that interest you and when it happens to the dems the sjw come out which are one of the two least tolerant things I have ever seen, from the gop the religious fundamentalists come out the others less tolerant. Therefore there is no difference in terms of tolerance.
Republicans will actually listen to other side. Democrats just preach to you and then insult you for not agreeing.
Usually republicans from what I've noticed. I've seen so many democrats unfriend people just because of their beliefs. I'm not saying republican's don't do it either, but it's a way larger scale with democrats.
I agree with your assessment. Democrats bill themselves as tolerant but they are only tolerant of those with shared beliefs which, by definition, isn't tolerant at all.
Democrats are way more tolerant, they are like a carnival side freak show. All the fucked up freaky fuckers, dick suckers, trans freaks, fuck up want to be's, anarchists, looters, arsonists, some freaks with no names yet, Marxists and every other type of non-mainstream odd balls. They are a clearning house of special weirdo interest groups.
by the way, Republicans nowadays, the left overthere became radical and won't tolerate anyone who disagrees with them.
Dems should pretend to be a republican on http://www.reddit.com/r/poltics/ for a week, then report back.
If we're just talking america then Republicans. You don't see Republicans running around wanting to cancel anyone who disagrees with them.
