The right is critical of the left for its tolerance of bad behavior which they contend is what ails society. They seem to want to go back to the zero tolerance, three strikes, broken windows theory approach. Whether it worked is debatable; the left says it leads to discriminatory policing, high incarceration rates, particularly for people of color, broken single parent families and the longer term social problems that creates.
The right contends that it sends a clear message of what is and is not acceptable, and that laws should be obeyed. [It's almost pointless to note that Trump is that last person on earth to be waxing lyrical about obeying the law, given his track record of lying, pushing the legal envelope, not to mention blackmailing foreign leaders for his own political ends and orchestrating an attempted coup - but that's tangential to the point here].
But there's another aspect to tolerance that seems to have escaped the right (other than its habitual hypocrisy); and that's tolerating lunatics in positions of influence. For example, those who believe in Jewish space lasers, windmills causing cancer, Hugo Chavez (deceased) working with Dominion to alter votes in the 2020 election. Most people (I hope) would look at any one of these and think that the person proposing them must be completely insane - not just metaphorically, but literally - they must have taken leave of their senses. They would (and should) be gently humored but never allowed to take the wheel. Yet here there are elected to Congress - no wonder the country is in decline.
