You see this all the time on the internet, even Trump fans have picked up on this tactic and try to label liberals as the intolerant ones.

Marginalized groups are the "real" oppressors in their world and they're the victims.

If you believe it's acceptable to restrict the rights of others because you think they're less deserving, inferior or less human than you are then you're a bigot.
