> Does censorship, even if justified, fuel anger and distrust

Anger and distrust are sparked, stoked and fueled far more by personalities in media and politics who actively promote them than by de-platforming.

> Is it possible to bring fringe groups back into the fold of peaceful civil discourse

People organizing and advocating violence are not fringe groups. The paradox of tolerance applies here: You can't extend tolerance to those who advocate for intolerance without destroying tolerance in the process.
