When has this ever not been the trend moreso than now?

Pick any decade within any century in U.S. (or even western) History that was more tolerant than our current one.

Pick any decade where those who seek to control and censor have had less influence and power than they do now.

I've got an open mind. Give me some examples.

From my pov, with the exception only a few taboo topics, the only intolerance we're intolerant of now is intolerance itself.
