Democracy is the least worst political system devised so far, and that isn’t really high praise for it. Certain political ideologies are a literal existential threat not just to certain groups, but literally everyone on earth. It is reasonable to marginalize them to oblivion. Germany bans Nazis for this reason, and the modern Republican Party is goose-stepping to the same song. They are an existential threat, and do not deserve representation at any level.

I get why you think like this, but it's just impossible. You can't just ban everything bad, especially something around half the population support(ed). You think those people will just go bend over and shut up? They already believe the other side is evil and hates them
