Firstly, I’m a Christian above anything else, so I don’t view Conservatives as “my people” or “my side”, but for the sake of discussion here let’s say that I do.

People on your side are literally advocating hatred of minorities, the reduction of rights for women, and the overthrow of our Democracy.

This doesn’t mean that the whole movement supports or advocates for these things. There’s no major effort on the right to do any of these things.

Our two sides are not the same.

Of course not. What’s the fun in being the same? It’s actually a good thing that there are differences between the left and the right.

when they are literally trying to removed Public Education to dumb down the average worker

Are you talking about getting rid of the Department Of Education? Defending their record of educating the American people is a tough road.

dismantle our social security

This doesn’t seem likely to happen since Trump wants to keep it around.

and strip the rights of our people

There’s no mainstream movement on the right to strip rights from people, unless you would count abortion as a right.

Why should anyone on the left be “tolerant” to that hatred?

There’s no hatred on the part of the majority of the right. What you, as many leftists have done (and many of the right do this as well, TBF), have chosen to do is take policy positions personally and perceive them as indicators of hate, regardless of whether or not they’re motivated by hate at all.
