This tired argument is based upon the assumption that tolerance requires one to tolerate the intolerant. Since the vast majority of progressives reject this, your argument carries no weight.

Drumpf is a racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-LGBTQ fascist. People who espouse this sort of hatred are fundamentally opposed to the ideas of freedom, equality and diversity upon which this country was founded. Those of us who value the political freedoms of ALL Americans -- including Muslim-Americans, Latinos, and various other groups Drumpf has vilified -- have a responsibility to take a strong stand against that sort of hatred and say no, we won't accept it in our places of work, in our neighborhoods, our places of worship, nor within our political process.

If someone is so attracted to a political process comprised of hate and excluding people based upon the color of their skin or their religious practices, I'd encourage them to move to Russia or Iran. It's 2016, that shit does not work in America anymore, as the Drumpfkins are going to learn on November 8th.

That's exactly what tolerance is. Tolerance is defined by accepting those you disagree with. I'm pro gay marriage, that doesn't mean I'm tolerant of it.

Polarization is really not going to help, in a way that's exactly what's so bad about Trump in the first place. So for all your presumed higher ground holding you're doing the exact same thing. Don't you realize that the more you create an 'us versus them' narrative the more you're aiding Trump? And if you don't realize that then maybe you'll give it some thought?

Consider that, as Thiel is not straight, actively inviting people from a region/religion where it is common to kill LGBTQ people may not be in his best interest - if he values his life that is.

The vast majo its of progressives reject this because progressives only value lockstep groupthink.
