Tolerance is an agreement, not a suicide pact. We AGREE to tolerate each other. If one aide refuses to tolerate the other, then there IS NO AGREEMENT to uphold, and we are NOT called to tolerate their intolerance. No paradox at all.

In 1963, Bernard Cohen wrote the press may not tell people what to think, but it does tell them what to think *about*. Similarly, in 1960s protests and media made civil rights salient. All to say, politicians may struggle to shape mass opinion, but they can influence which issues are salient.
