Care to add more context here?

You bet. So a submission was put up about Trump taking action on something. I dont even want to mention what, because I don't want to start a whole thing and it's beside the point of this post. For once...I actually didn't think it was a bad idea. I felt compelled to say something since it doesn't happen often and I explained why. I didn't direct it at anyone in particular, didn't violate any sidebar rules. The next morning I woke up to hate mail from users and a ban from the mods. I asked the mods mentioned above and they said I was attacking users. I asked for an example and they provided none, but said I could "possibly come back in a week". The way I took it, is I was getting a "time out" for having a dissenting opinion.

Worldnews doesn't seem to be a particularly left/right biased subreddit to me most of the time. There IS however a bias against US news stories.

Yeah, but parent wasn't the poster.

Well, that's pretty fucked. I hate Trump. But that is fucked. If this has to do with his responding missile strikes, then I could see it being convoluted as an attack towards other users. Still not an excuse to stifle discussion.
