Yet another ban that only demonstrates the mod's personal world view rather than enforcing the community rules.
You can see the comment in the modlog, apparently banned for trolling:

Lmao MAGA skepticism is a pretty hot take ngl
exactly. called a troll for relating their real world experience and being told that it isn't real because the mod doesn't agree with it.
fwiw i totally relate to what they said. I have met plenty of dems and 'leftists' who are MAGA in private. People are not necessarily political honest, a lot of them express views that are socially expedient in mixed company, but if they feel 'safe' with you they will tell you what they really think. there is also this weird emphasis on MAGA witch hunting in many places/spaces, usually perpetuated by these very same people who are projecting. I've also been told I'm MAGA because i don't agree with some of the extremist leftist takes on society, or the identity politics that the Dems have become so focused on.
i've had my comments labeled as trolling for this very same reason. some mods/people just can't have an idea that challenge their over-simplified view of the world, so they ban it as trolling. A lot of mods seem to struggle with the concept that people lie and are two-faced... and tell you you are trolling if you acknowledge that... i wonder why?
trolling is also most a eye of the beholder thing. I've posted wikipedia links and been told I'm a troll for doing so. lol
I blame it on partisan realism, wherein the social construct of consensus reality is bifurcated along political lines. People have learned to use consensus reality as a weapon by denying the very existence of other ideologies. "If you disagree with my political views, you are literally not real". I wrote a longer explanation on My blog
That's a terrible modlog entry. I would have banned OP for transphobia and xenophobia.
To me it looks like a classic case of sealioning
No, the questions are rhetorical.
Doesn't change much. Equally made-up reasons. Only a willingly ignorant interpretation pulls that out of what OP actually said.
Then you look at their OTHER comments...
"Personally, I don't believe anyone has human rights."
