The problem is the network effect.

As other people with these views hear that kind of rhetoric more and more, they come to find it acceptable. Thus pushing even more people to find it acceptable.

This kind of rhetoric should definitely be legal, but it should not be given a platform.

Wouldn’t others with those views already find them acceptable?
