The way I see it, if someone wants to be tolerant of racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever, well, ok, they're a spineless milquetoast maybe, but ok. I can deal.
The trump supporters I know don't just tolerate his racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever, they endorse and agree with it. That's where I draw the line in terms of things I am OK with.
I don't want to live in a world with racism, sexism, whatever. I will gladly apply whatever pressure I have (mostly social, right now, maybe some day economic, but you know) to discourage people with those views from promoting them, in the hopes that eventually those views fade away.
(I don't even view that as a particularly brave act, by the way, to stand up and say "racism does not belong in the world and you need to stop"--I kinda view it as the bare minimum of what it means to be a decent person.)
