It’s all about Tolerance™.

To a Conservative the word ‘tolerance’ means ‘casual indifference’.
To tolerate something means to ignore it, or at least not actively oppose it.

But to a Progressive ‘tolerance’ means ‘celebratory approval’.
To be Tolerant™ one must make it absolutely clear that one fully supports the idea in question. To be anything less than 100% approving is to risk being branded Intolerant™”. To be Intolerant™ is to risk being considered a Hater!™. And to be branded a Hater™ is a fate worse than death to a Progressive.

Tolerance™ also carries a significant amount of selectiveness. My folks objected to my wearing my Utilikilt™ while visiting them up in Massachusetts (a state well-known for its Tolerance™). When I brought up that point, they said that Texas was probably more Tolerant™ about that kind of thing. I found it more than a little humorous that Massachusetts libs would ever say Texas was more tolerant about the clothes someone wears.

Your post does not go far enough. You must not only approve, you have to promote the idea in question.

Well put. I like your use of “celebratory approval”; it’s their tactic currently in use to shove it in our faces. First the Rose Parade, Today the Grammys, upcoming, The Oscars.
