I support Krabby and the forum policy to keep politics out. Why? I run a large forum myself and we handle it there the same way. As admins we're not saying don't stand up, be silent, have this or that political view etc. We just say, don't express this here. Especially in these times people also need a place where they can get away from all that and where they can focus on just what they love. There is no need to politicize every single aspect of the life. It is ok, no, there must be a place, where you can get away from this.
Because there are so many other ways to express the personal view and during the day ist is already hard to escape all this stuff.
If, and only then, this forum would be the only place to exchange views on things like politics, you should keep that open (in German your would even be required to keep it open) for such discussions. But as there are hundreds and thousands of different possibilities to be an active political member of the community, it is not required to open this forum for such an exchange. And I appreciate to have a place where one can steer thoughts in a different direction.
If you politicize every single part of your life, it will not be to your favour. If you choose to do so, you can, but then you have to acknowlegde, that this home belongs to someone else and this person makes the rules. To compare the admin decision to something else which non-Trump-supporters should understand immediately.....if the Danish say no, it means no.
I know from my own forum, that you never have a clear and sharp line between non-politics and politics as these topics automotive etc. are connected to politics. However, we try to use common sense what is acceptible and what is not according to our rule to keep politics out. And we know that this is a very emotional thing. But we also know, if you let that go once, you'll not recognize the forum again and there will be a lot of stress and anger etc.
Care about it, do something about it, get involved....but just not here. It would be sad to lose such a place to these political struggles and their players. It would just become another loss...
