Yes if there has been a platform where his views could have been freely countered, like Elon’s Twitter / X, that would have been great and probably would have nipped him in the bud.
So your fears are exactly backward. It’s the suppression, not the expression, that is the problem.

It’s one man amplifying the xenophobia of the most ignorant sector of our populace and as far as they’re concerned, everyone who doesn’t agree with them are the “enemy”.

Speaking from actual observation there is plenty of countering and debate happening on that platform. And we can see a healthy cohort of anti-Trump Republicans have emerged there for example. Not that this makes them right on any issues, but it’s a start.
