My tolerance ends where your oppression begins.

That what you say to Trumpies who want you to tolerate their racism, sexism, homophobia, et al. My tolerance ends where your oppression ends. And that's OK, because tolerance is the opposite of oppression. Don't want to bake that cake for the same sex marriage? I don't have to tolerate your oppression. Don't want to disburse RU-486? I don't have to tolerate your oppression. Want to keep women "in their place"? I don't have to tolerate your oppression. Want to purge voter rolls? I don't have to tolerate your oppression.

And if I'm a judge, and you're a Russian puppet pretending to be President, then I don't have to tolerate your unconstitutional oppression. In fact, I'll grab you by those hairplugs and batslap you back to reality.
