Tolerance and intolerance are discursive positions across the whole political spectrum
Evidence
Tolerance and intolerance are not just the property of the open-minded opposed to the closed-minded person, but are also the upshot of argumentative positions that span the entire political and ideological spectrum of societies.

One needs to learn more about which social and cultural resources to mobilize against the normalization of intolerance, what works and what does not. — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 345
