I agree with all 31, but personally I’d add a few more (looking from a British perspective):

32) talk about how the Nazis were socialists.

33) defend literally anything about the British empire.

34) support the Tories

35) support Reform/UKIP/the Brexit party/whatever else they’re calling themselves this year.

36) say anything positive about Tommy Robinson

37) quote the Daily Mail, the Sun, or the Express.

38) mention Corbyn being a terrorist supporter.

Much on your list demonstrates your intolerance. We can learn from everyone even if we choose not to take up their beliefs. If you want to understand why people do, say, think what you do not like then listen to them.

Your first two conditions are prejudice. You are dismissing people simply because of their political beliefs and you are demonising a President who was and is no worse than the other motley bag.

Rather than not listen, perhaps treat with scepticism and caution those who hold intolerant beliefs as you list them. Do not become intolerant yourself.
