In 2003, 15000 Baath Party members were dismissed from their posts in Iraqi government ministries because of their 'evil' political affiliation.

Within two years 9000 of them had been rehired to try to repair the damage that their dismissal had caused.

Sometimes one just has to be pragmatic and put subjective opinion aside. Such tolerance doesn't equate to approval.

I don't think there's any ambiguity that Peter Thiel, the subject of this article, is approving Trump, and not just tolerating him.
