Not trolling, they would ban any opposing viewpoints.

How is that different from reddit? /r/politics does that regularly

I find this to be a bit of a bad comparison. /r/politics downvotes opposing viewpoints - they aren’t banned. And there are many, many other subreddits where you will find opinions completely different from those of the /r/politics orthodoxy.

Do they? Or is it someone with opposing view points that also happen to be racist/belligerent getting banned, and think it's because of their opposing view points rather than being racist/belligerent?

No, you're thinking of /r/conservative, which literally has "flaired users only" posts, and insta-bans people who express even mild criticism of conservative talking points.

"Do not violate the Mission Statement. (We provide a place on Reddit for conservatives, both fiscal and social, to read and discuss political and cultural issues from a distinctly conservative point of view.)"

[trianglem]

Do you mean r/conservative? Because r/politics usually has a ton of opposing views usually buried under downvotes, not removed.

They were demonstrated to ban people with opposing viewpoints who were trolling. That is not the same thing.
