  • The makeup is actually kinda cool. It could symbolize that you are deeply upset (hence the lines coming from the eyes like tears) about the divide (the white line down the middle) between the parties (red and blue tears for Republicans and Democrats respectively). All while using red, white and blue to represent the country overall. It’s good graphic design.

    Their hats tell me that that was not their thought process, though.






  • But that’s how the “contract” explanation “solves” the paradox. Nobody is inherently tolerant. I’m just tolerant towards you because our social contract ensures mutual tolerance. One “clause” of the contract is however that I don’t have to be tolerant towards you if you breach the contract with anyone else. Or in other words, if I see you being intolerant, I have the right to be intolerant towards you, too. Whether I’m “obliged” to be intolerant towards you is another question, but you could construe it as another “clause” of the social contract.
