Are you tolerant of your opposition?

[Anonymous]

I view my political opponents as both stupid and evil but usually one or the other. They're either incapable of critical thought and have backwards views because of it or they want good people in America to suffer while cherishing those who victimize the innocent.

The more they violate the constitution every day, the more I view them as evil individuals that genuinely want to bring as much suffering and destruction to the country as possible and they're doing a great job of it.

Yes

No

[normalice]

Not really. I pretty much completely agree with you. Republicans are bringing as much suffering and destruction to our country as the can just so they can blame Joe Biden. I have no tolerance for such worthless scam artists. I pity the people tricked into voting for them but only a little - at some point people need to accept that they have been tricked and stop falling for it. Instead many of them have just doubled down and get butthurt when you call them out.

[SiberFox]

It depends what views we're talking about. A lot of the time there can be a compromise and an agreement to disagree based on perspective. But there are some that simply regurgitate the opinions of others because they think it makes them a good person. They are useful idiots.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Yes, as long as they keep their mouth shut. I don't most people who are politically leftist tend to be very tolerant of those who are politically right. I'm fine with people who are willing to discuss and talk openly about everyone's views but if a group is less accepting of your opinions, I see no reason why to accept theirs. I'd say I'm closer to being politically libertarian though, so that's just my opinion of what I'd do.

[Agape93]

Welcome to the party of freedom, sis.

[Guy__]

My only opposition is those who believe in authority of government. We are not slaves.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

@Guy__ @Agape93 hopefully things don't get worse, it's definitely nicer to actually be able to talk but for whatever reason the left seems to be more intolerant of others (not everyone ofc, just many).

[Agape93]

Agreed. Both sides are trash for different reasons because they attack different freedoms. Fuck em both.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

@Agape93 definitely, it's basically the nature of most governments to do that, just because the color/party changed doesn't mean their intentions have. People on the right also lie a lot and attack people, at least verbally, during "debates "

[Agape93]

That's putting it mildly

[Asker]

Why wouldn't people on the right attack leftists? They're disgusting worms from hell who live for one reason, to make the lives of normal people as horrible as possible. They all need to die

[Guy__]

They will soon go extinct anyway, they've already castrated themselves.

[FreyaRed]

Yes, because tolerance and freedom of thinking is base of my personal worldview. Generally you can't convince someone with persuasion and logic who is indoctrinated. The easiest way is to allow them to run in traps caused by their own hypocrisy and it works only with tolerance from one side.

[globetrotter22]

The intolerance started on one side. One side is much more likely to completely disassociate with you, throw insults and labels, bully people, cancel people and last but not least gaslight you if you call out their bullshit.

Well the other side is getting really fed up with this crap. We are starting to draw the line (it should of been drawn a long time ago).

[exitseven]

I never used to feel this way but they brought it on themselves. They are so crazy and things have gotten so bad , so fast and it was all done on purpose. Next we will be dealing with a climate emergency. What happens this winter when elderly people freeze to death in their homes because they cannot afford ten bucks a gallon for oil. do you think Biden calls that a climate emergency?

[ArtieWhitefox]

Just being tolerant teaches people nothing. We must not violate the laws that Jesus obeyed - fulfilled. A godly person will not want to pierce a person with an bullet. Native people suffered a lot from people who brought the constitution. Indians could talk freely. They did not need words on a piece of paper. People were obeying God not being offended by what people said.

[BurntKeyboard]

I meant yes, I tolerate them unless they're acting like their opinion is objective fact and not even considering that they could be wrong. Oh, and seeing me as evil and/or stupid for disagreeing with them. Because of course your opinion is objective fact. I'm actually left leaning, though I don't appreciate a perspective like that from either side.

[Plinko]

I'm tolerant in a conversation for as long as someone is tolerant with me.

I am not opposed to having deep political, philosophical, and existential conversations with people. But, as soon as it becomes hostile, it's not worth pursuing.

[jshm2]

You're pretty small minded and insular to even have such views, when you've got nothing but opinion and conjecture.

It's why you're harmless and irrelevant.

[Asker]

I'm so harmless and irrelevant that the entire party has made it their mission to strip me of every God given right I have, hmmm🤔

[Kaneki05]

I could be if they didn't have some opinion routed in racism, sexism, homophobia, or any view that comes from before 1950 but that would impossible therefore I ain't.

[Anonymous]

[Asker]

Stupid people who make the country better > evil people who make it worse on purpose

[BeMuse]

I'm an independent moderate classical liberal like the founding fathers... Like them I don't tolerate bullshit.

[Anonymous]

Depends on the argument, if the opposition isn’t ration and just insults because they have a different opinion I will try to leave the conversation ASAP.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Yep. Live and let live. As long as there's mutual respect on the other end.

[Anonymous]

Not anymore, I used to be but they just resort to insults all the time and incorrect information.

[CloudMassacre]

It depends on their vibe. Like if they’re just being rude and accusatory, fuck em. But if they have some level of chill, I’ll tolerate them

[MountAverage]

Only to a certain point. When the opposition is dangerous, it's our duty to NOT tolerate them.

[crmoore]

Yes, though sometimes when they're intolerant I lose my will to be intolerant. But most of the time you can have a civil discussion.

[ArtemisSilver]

To an extent. Alternative points of view are fine, but evil should be called out.

[EnglishEuropean]

I wouldn't tar them all with the same brush. There are those that are evil and those that are too stupid to know any different.

[Juxtapose]

So long as they don't attack my most basic freedoms.

[KrakenAttackin]

I used to be tolerant of the opposition but now I am ready to meet them on the battlefield.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes, as long it isn't some open border nonsense or anti patriot stuff I will be tolerant.

[msc545]

I view them as driven solely by greed and intolerance and bigotry.

[QuietRunner]

tolerant - yes

accepting of 90% of their views - no

[Anonymous]

I am never a huge fan of poisoning the well.

[Guy13]

To some degree. I keep my cool 😎

[fonduegirl]

As long as they aren't toxic.

[Agape93]

Depends on the topic and why they opposed my ideas

[Jouth]

I am tolerant of the toilet

[Anonymous]

It really depends on how civil they act.

[Fuentes]

No screw them
