I don’t see the trolling. I see misinformed and flat out stupid opinions that can be argued against, just like everything else in GD. This seems to be clearly about content, not about any rules. I don’t believe the very same kind of language and sentiments directed at the Trump and Republicans would be modded.

Here are all of his posts prior to the moderation. Could you point out what is considered trolling here?

> Well as a white man when “THEY” meaning the schools, media, colleges, politicians, etc… always portray me as the bad guy and they expect me to check my “white privilege” when down deep you dont see a reason to apologize, it gets frustrating. My family immigrated here after 1880 and we never owned a slave, never took land from an indian, and as far as I know always worked hard, earned everything we had, and treated others fairly.

> But “they” say I’m the bad guy? That my son doesnt deserve a job because he also is a white male?
> 
> So when democrats put up a candidate and say I should vote for them because… why? Their gender? Their race? Their sexual identity? Hell no!

> Incidentally satanist rocker Marilyn Manson is republican.

> 
> Could a person vote say democrat because they hate their parents who always voted republican?
> 
> Might a person vote republican because they hate the liberals in college?
> 
> Could a person vote against a school bond issue because they have bad memories of school?

> And why did they pick Harris?
> 
> Also in my area we have a democrat congresswoman named [Sharice Davids](https://davids.house.gov/) and her honest to goodness reason for being there is she is a lesbian native american.

> I dont know much about Harris but Davids definitely no. She hadnt really accomplished anything in her life before running for congress.

> When she ran the first time she really played up her MMA background. It was one of those attention grabbing backgrounds politicians sometimes use. Although your right it is cool but not any indication of leadership. She worked up on at Pine Ridge although she never says what she accomplished.

> Remember I’m a local and I have several connections with local democrats that I cannot talk about.

> Well quite frankly, I dont know. How really can I make a judgement call on a politician if I dont live in their area and I dont know know local issues or people.

> I just wanted to add I’m not trying to be rude or flippant. I’m just saying its hard to judge a local politician when you dont live in that area. For example a person might have met and worked with someone or have a personal connection.

> None of us are completely unbiased. I think the whole idea of whats being talked about is overlooking any bias and vote based on the things you find most important.
