If you agree to that it's simply a question of where to draw the line; many people just choose to draw it on the basis of whether ideas are "mainstream," and I'm observing that this principle has substantial built-in vulnerabilities.
Yes, ok, I think that's right. I suppose I think 1) people with abhorrent views shouldn't be given public office or trust but that 2) abhorrent views shouldn't be illegal but 3) people shouldn't want to associate themselves with abhorrent views or those who hold them.
