True, but let’s say a ridiculous ToS had any mention of Marxist ideology as a violation.
That would have an inherent bias against people on the Democratic side.

Are you equating Marxism with Nazism???
I'd accept a Stalism/Nazism (or maoism) equivocation.
Marxism is not like Nazism.

No. I’m saying _if_ they instituted an unfounded TOS against Marxism, that would have an inherent bias. I purposely left Maoism and Stalinism out due to their fascist nature.
Let’s say they were owned by Exxon, their TOS had that talking the negative aspects of fossil fuels was a violation, that would have an inherent anti Democrat bias, even if they didn’t have a stated anti Democrat bias.

Ok, sorry.
Was anyone accusing them of having an anti right wing TOS?
In general I agree with you, but I think you'd have a hell of a time teasing apart the politics of it. Eg if a rule said all statements had to be scientifically proven, is that anti right wing? Is that even wrong in and of itself? How would you balance that out?
The average Trump supporter may be no more likely to break Twitters TOS, we aren't looking at the average here, we are looking at the outliers.
22 bans is absolutely insignificant compared to the millions of users, you can't extrapolate that out to all Trump voters or even the average Trump voter, therefore his argument makes no sense.
