Some seem to be conflating talking with someone and quote retweeting to their tens of thousands of followers. Not the same thing.

Why do people give a platform to those they disagree with? If someone says something overtly ridiculous and harmful, why broadcast it? Am I missing something that somehow makes the situation better?

People who don't follow me and don't understand the context of this tweet, are replying and accusing me of wanting to suppress speech and dissenting opinions.

Your first two questions are completely different. You seem to equate people who disagree with you with being ridiculous and harmful. Which ironically, is ridiculous and harmful.

The follow up questions are me clarifying what I'm trying to convey

why would I want a platform where everybody agrees with what I say?

You're using a broader definition of the word platform than I am. Platform refers specifically to someone's own Twitter profile. Read my replies for more clarification.

Because when people say this stuff unchallenged it gets internalised.

I get that, but these are fundamentally minority opinions that everyone seems to acknowledge as fanatical without having to state it. If anything, broadcasting it actually brings others together who share the same views making it much worse.
