Ok, so who gets to decide what is labeled as intolerance?

The person who decides has all the power because that person decides who can speak and what they can say.

Consequently, when there exists such a person (or group of persons), the society is no longer a democracy but a dictatorship.

Very hard for some people to grasp apparently.

Hint: the intolerant people are the ones violently storming the Capitol because their guy didn't get elected. That's the actual "dictatorship" threat.

"Democracy" is when the person with the most electoral votes assumes office on Jan 20th. The US is a democracy, and Biden is your next President.
