Proof that the self-described uber tolerant liberals are actually ultra intolerant.

Oh please - the polarization and demonetization of " the other side" is rampant on BOTH sides!
No offense, Mary, but YOU are a PRIME example!

What I find interesting the poll doesn't mention the political breakdown of the 850 college student.Based on the fact that a majority of college student are liberal leaning you should not draw any conclusions from the data presented.

Usually, I would agree with you, but you see this kind of stuff play out on social media and "man on the ground" YouTube videos at college campuses.
Hell, we even see the intolerance of the loving tolerant left on this site.
If you go back to the 2016 election and read forum posts here, I tried to get liberals to condemn the violence on both sides, but virtually all refused. Conservatives condemned the violence from both sides though. Eventually, I got a couple of liberals to condemn the violence and their fellow liberals attacked them and shit all over them for doing so.

I agree as a group Liberal are intolerant. I thing it's because they think of their political life as a religion. When you present facts to a religious zealot they cling harder to their faith. -
The extent of intolerance in the younger generation is clear, and clearly an alter-ego of the unstated but clearly visible elephant in the room of general social media influence.
In fact, we here, yes we... gay and otherwise flexibly sexual/diverse individuals who wear tolerance on our sleeves are highly intolerant not only of each other, but any who dare question our superior version of intellectual prowess and judgment rights. It is only we who may discern the propriety of universal treatment of others, with "case closed" mentalities which leave no room for improvement.
So easy to cookie cutter stamp an opinion that is "Leftist" or "Rightist" or "Centrist" or any other host of microcosmic groups than can allow an "outcast" individual to claim inclusion where it may not exist in reality. It is these very labels that cause division, not cure it.
A great example is the commutation of the "gay" movement. In the early days, the term included all who had same-sex attractions. Then as the predominant media and focus was men, we had to state "lesbian and gay". This led to a perceived exclusion of bisexuals, so we were "LGB". What about Trans, then? OK... LGBT. Then someone invented an exclusion for "Queer". Now we have to use more letters... LGBTQ. Oops. That leaves out a host of other people and their individual perceptions, so it's time to use the shift key and write LGBTQ+. The plus character can't always be "included" in programming. There's a discrimination lawsuit. How far we've gone in retro, without using the rear-view mirror.
You know what? How about we just take the Dutch example. The only thing we should not tolerate is intolerance.
