Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
I just don't log in that often, still stuck on the Reddit juice. The paradox requires that society be maximally tolerant, if there is some level of intolerance and tolerance to authoritarian ideas, that's just regular society, happens in every country, and is not an example of a country that is exclusively tolerant of all positions.
I don't know of any country where someone can be openly pro fascist. I'm sure you could find some for me outside of western countries but that's not the point. That is, unless you are one of those people that calls Trump supporters literal fascist, in which case I will say: I think Trump is a used car salesman, an idiot, a massive problem for the United States, but definitely not a fascist coming to take over America. But if you believe that, then I can see why you believe people tolerate fascism but unfortunately that is a false perception and I'm not gotta be able to talk you out of it in an online post.
Your first paragraph is describing the paradox but saying nuh-uh.
Your second paragraph pretends America does not exist.
Stop talking to me.
THERE WAS A FAILED COUP.
