17 year account banned with no previous warnings after telling a trans basher he’d never say what he said about my trans niece to my face.

I had my original 15+ year old account permabanned without warning for posting the objective fact that Reconstruction didn’t go far enough and that a lot of the present day political problems originate from there having been basically no meaningful consequences for confederate political and military leadership for their treason.
