Sally doesn't believe any of these things.
In fact she feels they're all horrific.
But the fact that she puts these things aside to have beers with Bob means that she's more open minded and tolerant than people who think Bob is a dangerous, toxic douchebag and aren't his friend

Sally doesn't challenge Bob.
They have friendly abstract academic debates.
They never talk about the trauma and death inflicted on people by the policies Bob supports cause Sally doesn't want to ruin a good thing.
And besides, it's a downer.

Sally and Bob have a superficial "friendship"'based on a shared agreement to never address the hypocrisy of their values and how they express them.
They expect praise for being enlightened, but really they just agree to avoid grappling with the human cost of their "tolerance"

Sally fundamentally confuses the point of tolerance, namely that it exists to protect people from being unfairly harmed by those who would invalidate and dehumanize them for who they are...
Not to reflexively defend the rights of others to dehumanize.

Don't be Bob. Bob's a dillhole.
But Sally ain't nothing to aspire to either.
They're not better adults
They're just in denial.
