A guy with the American Enterprise Institute published the results of a poll from Dartmouth.
"55 percent of Democratic [students] said opposite political views would make them less likely to befriend another student, compared to 21 percent of Independents and 12 percent of Republicans."
Ideological tolerance looks pretty thin at Dartmouth.https://t.co/X42Hd4Myus

Go read the Twitter thread.
This is an example of what you will see over and over again.

Evil. All republicans are just evil.

See the GOP wants death camps for gays and immigrants.
read that as "55 percent of Democratic [students] have principles"

So hating people on the other side of the aisle is a principle? That actually sounds pretty honest, but I don’t think that’s what he meant.
In an unrelated study, 63% of Democrats said they would be less likely to befriend someone someone who was a Nazi, and 83% said they would be less likely to befriend someone currently eating a live kitten.
where is your """tolerance""" now, libs??

Because the GOP are Nazis.

Nazis and racists.
This is the whole thread:
“Here is I think of what a Republican is: a racist who wants to murder gays, trans-people, and immigrants, is a Nazi Klansman. I am allowed to hate them because they are terrible, evil, subhuman people.”
They don’t need to be tolerant because they are morally justified in hating the straw man they conjured up out of prejudice and bigotry.
“They don’t need to be tolerant because they are morally justified in hating the straw man they conjured up out of prejudice and bigotry.”
These people are completely mental, and everything they preach always turns out to be a lie.
Their concept of ‘Ideological tolerance’ is to tell everyone to do as they say and to not ask questions, or they immediately turn violent and start screaming insults at you.
And here I thought you could explain at least some fraction of the poll results from that old truism: Dem girls are easy, Republic girls are worth marrying.
They don’t see the irony: that their characterization of conservatives as universally “intolerant” is, in fact, intolerant.
Moreover, and more telling, is that they work in a world where half the people are conservative, and they are not personally seeing murderous racists, misogynists, etc., committing these types of crimes on a daily basis. Where is their direct evidence that all conservatives are evil? They have none, for the strawman enemy does not exist in reality.
And this oblivious blindness of theirs is self-reinforcing in their echo-chamber cliques. Having to have a civil conversation with the “enemy” would expose them to have to face reality.
That’s a bunch of dumbassery right there.
“If the survey had been: ‘Should people with opposing political views than my own be allowed to express them?’ I predict the Rep’s would be less tolerant”
This is demonstrably false, but I’d still like to see a survey to that effect. I predict around 90% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats would agree with the suggested statement.
I wonder if the modern over the top PC attitude of the left will result in their men being so afraid of their women that they’ll stop reproducing. “Think of it as evolution in action”… If that notion is real, you’d see it by charting birth rate per state vs. its political balance. Hm…
Just more liberal projection onto us. Fuk em…eeeeeccckkk, on 2nd thought no, most of em would make a gater puke.
The article says Dartmouth is 67% Democrat — but the proportions of the bars indicate the number is 76% (among survey respondents, that is).
Apart from the graph you showed, there’s plenty more in that article that’s interesting. The divergent views on whether free speech is threatened, for example. Also, the numbers for “the climate on Dartmouth’s campus prevents some people from saying things they believe because others might find them offensive” — 81% said yes, 94% of Republicans said yes. Nationwide average for that question is much lower, 54%. In spite of those numbers, 63% of Democrats think “Free speech is very secure”. I guess preventing people from saying things is not, by Democrat standards, a free speech issue. Go figure.
This is fine, and it absolutely expected. It’s validation for the poll results.
