We all know that twitter would recognize satire as satire if it comes from someone whose politics agree with theirs.

We in fact do not know that and Twitter routinely bans satirical liberal accounts. Twitter moderation is bad. But, of course, good moderation would also eject Milo Yiannopolous; no serious company wants that guy around. He's banned from Facebook too. These people get banned from everywhere. Is it Laura Loomer that's banned from Uber Eats?

Experiencing consequences for acting like a jerk isn't persecution.

You talk like it's one person. It's an entire community. No proof either.

No. There are millions of conservatives on facebook.
>No proof either
Same to you. What community got banned? Elaborate.

Are you just referring to far-left like Sanders supporters, rather than mainstream liberals? Which ones exactly get banned?
I'm positive Twitter would allow a mainstream-supporting liberal (i.e. someone who vocally supported Clinton or supports Buttigieg or Biden or Bloomberg) to slide on this, like any time someone would jokingly pretend they're part of Fox News. Stephen Colbert, if he had a Twitter account that was equivalent to his satirical character on his Comedy Central show, would be adored and absolutely allowed to get a nice fat bluecheck on his hypothetical Twitter.
