Well, I've seen a surprising number of people talk that way on Twitter and Facebook. Maybe they're just talking out their asses, but some of them seem to take it seriously, so it's not exactly a strawman. I've seen people suggest that yes, if you voted for Trump, you're racist, sexist, homophobic and any other number of things. My point is, if you use a code of conduct that simply includes dumbed down provisions with no detail, you have no way of knowing what the views of the project leaders are - you might have risk that kind of treatment because you said something positive about Trump on Twitter. I suppose you can argue this is a strawman on the grounds that it doesn't seem to be happening so far with projects which have implemented a code of conduct - but I'm worried it might have a chilling effect on political commentary in FOSS communities, causing more people to comment anonymously and disassociate their political views from their real information. This kind of chilling effect is hard to measure in many other cases already.
