If the rule of law is robust, we should abolish the police.

You are very mistaken. Democracy requires defense. Everyone can have its own stupid opinion, but that is not the point.

Actively sabotaging society via campaigns is something any sane democratic society should defend against (all western "social" media are relentlessly hit by troll bots and disinformation campaigns, funded by your favorite dictatorships like Russia and China).

It is no wonder that Twitter for example got in the hands of Apartheid Musk.

The paradox of tolerance, read it up. It is a __paradox__.

The paradox of tolerance isn't real. Laws are real. Someone could argue for whatever they want. If the law says it cannot be implemented, it doesn't matter if they win an election. It's just about the law.
