Conservatives will be like “Why are you holding me accountable for my bigoted beliefs? Whatever happened to tolerance???”

The response to that is Tolerance Is Not a Moral Precept https://extranewsfeed.com/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d6376 - it is a peace treaty. It is a contract of cooperation, or at least, of non-interference.

the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.

(Bold added)

Someone who’s actively trying to oppress, belittle, exclude, or harm people based on their identities is not complying with the contract, so there’s no reason to extend its protection to them. (Your picture was not posted)
