They're completely and willfully ignorant of the direction of the modern left, or rationalize it away because in their brains "Blue > Red" and that supersedes.
You know who I'm talking about -- the hippie/woodstock traditional 2nd wave feminist types. They're tolerant themselves, but will vote for people who want to put you in camps.
My point is that there is a significant chunk of blue voters who either don't know what is happening or don't want to believe it.
I have family members who fall into this category (and several old friends) and it is quite literally that meme with Patrick Star and his wallet.
It usually goes something like this:
"If a person came to you and said they want to cut off an arm to alleviate their body dyphoria, would you affirm that dysphoria and cut it off?"
"No, of course not."
"What about a person who wanted to blind themselves for the same purpose?" (Which has actually happened and was the subject of a Dr. Phil episode)
"No, of course not."
"So why don't you have the same reaction to someone who wants to cut off or remove their sexual organs?"
They never have an answer... or a satisfactory one at the very least.
There is no thought behind it. Tolerance is the virtue and being okay with genital mutilation is tolerant. The messaging is so pervasive that it never even reaches the point of cognitive dissonance.
I would bet a large sum of money that a significant plurality (if not outright majority) of blue voters would act very much like red voters if this shit affected them personally.
But then again... that's why the groomers in schools want kids to be disconnected from their parents until its too late and they have ensnared the kid.
The tolerant left still exists.

Of course -- you and I know that as plain as day.

But ignorance of evil is not evil, it's just ignorance.
