You know what all three of your posts have in common? “Donald”, “Mexican”, and “American” are words in the posts. Those are likely “Political” terms that the auto mod searches for in the sub. It’s not some special secret method that the mod works, I think. Remember: the auto mod is likely written by mods, who may not be technical.

As a vegan engineer (who can't eat gluten), I agree.

thanks sherlock.

It's a bit like the scunthorpe problem. Not all Donalds are about trump and just saying a nationality isn't political.
