You are actually philosophically in the wrong here- you should take a look at the paradox of tolerance.

A tolerant, just person MUST NOT tolerate intolerance.

That's not the same thing. I'm saying, "don't wish harm on people just because they live in a red state or voted Republican". You're saying that means I'm advocating for the tolerance of hate. I am not advocating for that. I'm saying that wishing harm on people is shitty. Of course we should ban bigoted speech from online spaces.

Intolerance towards the intolerant. That is absolutely what the paradox of tolerance implies.

It's absolutely the same thing, you're just not paying attention to what you're actually saying.

I think you live in a bubble.
