Oh, you misunderstood - they never planned on being even slightly tolerant of anything or anyone, the plan was to force us to tolerate their regressive bullshit!

I’ve felt for a long time that this whole “liberal tolerance” thing was just a psyop by the right to keep the left and center from fighting back - replacing them both with the most ineffective, wishy-washy form of liberalism a person could find and telling them “you’re just as bad as the people attacking you if you fight back.”

I'm not going to lie and say that the division isn't high, and that most of that division isn't centered around tolerance/culture wars. But I think it's extremely hyperbolic to suggest that the US is not comparatively one of the most tolerant countries in the world or that it doesn't have a culture of tolerance. Anywhere that you have diversity, you're going to have some intolerance. If you don't believe me, ask your average European about their opinions on gypsies or Muslim refugees.

Read up on the Rwandan genocide to understand what "open animosity" means, please.
