I’ve read several explanations, but I think I need it really dumbed down to grasp it.

There is no paradox of tolerance

It is an agreement between two people. The two people agree to tolerate the other person. It is a peace treaty.

When one side breaks the peace treaty, then the treaty is broken and the other side is not required to keep following it.

So, if someone spreads hate towards you, you are not required to accept that hatred. You are entitled to keep your life peaceful. You have a right to life.
