Its a binding force among Trumpster Divers.

I just saw the stupidest argument on Twitter just now from a Drumpf supporter.
"I don't want to listen to a billionaire"...... A response to me linking to Nick Hanauer saying workers don't make enough.
So Trump isn't a billionaire? WHAT A FUCKING MORON!

It's an interesting thought, Kusa, it comes up from time to time in a variety of settings.
However, being bigoted towards bigots doesn't concern me very much. In fact, I'll wear the badge and smile. Can't speak for Min or Mathilda on that count, obvs. Kind of a rabbit hole though, isn't it? Once we criticize another for being intolerant of intolerance...then they can criticize us for being intolerant of their intolerance for intolerance. So forth and so on, until the end of days. Meanwhile..... bigots.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Your definition implies intolerance to all those people holding different opinions. There are different opinions that I am tolerant of.
But there are opinions that I feel need to be challenged for all our sakes. I challenge those who hold opinions that are themselves intolerant of others. I may try to understand fascism and why people think the way they do but that does not mean to say that I accept it.
Most of the time you don't ever answer any of my points, or just lazily brush them off. Like when you accused me of being an armchair bullshitter but ignored me when I asked you where I had bullshitted.

I wouldn't say I was intolerant of people like Trump and Kusa so much as contemptuous.

No moron, do not equate hate of bigotry as being bigotry itself.
That's like saying "How dare you not tolerate Hitler's hatred of Jews." Blasphemy and ridicule of bigotry is not the same as bigotry.

Bad ideas that lead to treating others as a sub species should always be challenged.

Trump's Mexico wall isn't his worst idea. It would provide a large number of jobs. Of course it's unnecessary infrastructure, but that doesn't stop China building shit they don't need.
The real problem is just how extremist these fools like Trump and Cruz are. Tax cuts for the wealthy and repeal Obamacare. It's fucking stupid.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

This coming from you is on the same lines as the christian persecution complex. Busy degrading others, but if they take some flak, it's all, how dare you being nasty to me?

Yes it is equal to all the GOP's horrible ideas, not only do we not have the money to do it, where do you think that money would come from if we decided to do it? It won't come from the 1%. He's running for the "don't tax the rich" party, so if we want to come up with a way to pay for it under that model, it would be the continued gutting of benefits of the middle class and poor.
That party foams at the mouth tripping over themselves masturbating over becoming China's model.
