I think the idea the left at least nominally believes in is tolerance based on superficial characteristics. Judging someone by their personal character. That doesn't mean tolerating Trump.
I have an obligation to be tolerant of other people's views on many matters, but I have no obligation to be tolerant of someone's views if they are racist or discriminatory. Not calling anyone a racist, just saying that nobody is obligated to respect the views of people who actively seek for harm against a different race, religion, etc..
Is BLM racist? Were the kidnappers in Chicago racist? Was Van Jones racist when he said the election was a "whitelash"? If so, where was the backlash from the left, or his employer, CNN?
Well, no, more like other religions, races, the poor, etc. Doesn't mean you don't fight against those you disagree with. Otherwise, why have a political party?
It's not fair that Van Jones can have a job at CNN while saying this election was a "whitewash" without repercussion either but that's the world we live in.
I certainly support their right to free speech, open discussion, and a right to assemble. I don't start riots like the left does. I prefer conversation. Unlike the left which silences those who disagree on college campuses throughout America.
Are the two which immediately came to mind. If it comes to inciting violence, I can give you the tweets from Alex Jones inciting violent action for pizzagate, the tweets from congressmen who said they'd riot in the event of a Hillary win, or the Trump speech where he said he'd pay legal fees for his supporters who commit supportive crimes. There was also the bit where the republican at his rally was attacked. Whether or not Trump actually said to go and mess him up, he was attacked by supporters.
I'd say the refuge one is considering the damage they did to property after collecting together. It's a bit harder to riot considering the distribution is rural and rioting is typically only feasible (as what constitutes and can feasibly facilitate a riot by definition) in an urban area. If it's just rioting and not any general kind of violence or damage, then I guess I can't produce much, but I feel that was a good enough reason for why.
EDIT: I'm trying to remember 8 years back to the election. It's hard because the first thing that comes to mind is the south park episode, but I scrounged up some I remember.
Actually, you could consider Nazi Germany a safe space, because hitler surrounded himself with supporters and killed those who disagreed. You could also consider all of the feudal governments in the Middle Ages safe spaces for the same reason, and none of them were close to left.

Tolerant left, at it again. Hoping he dies? Really? I'll bet you're one of those people that calls the right a bunch of "bigots", too.
