It's basically how the nazis took over germany: They were tolerated. And then it was too late.
And how do you know that they are intolerant? Is it because they are saying blatant, genuinely racist/sexist things? Or is it because they believe trans people shouldn't be competing in women's sports? Or that they believe DEI hires exist? Or that they believe in meritocracy instead of Affirmative Action? The criteria for labelling someone a bigot is much looser nowadays. Probably anyone voicing any of the opinions I just put forth would get them labelled as a bigot nowadays, instead of warranting any actual good faith discussion.
