Yes, "political statements are violent or are calls to violence" is true in the sense that state power is ultimately based on the threat of violence. At the deepest level of analysis this violence is illegitimate too. The thing is, we are sadly not yet at the point where we can do away with the state.
The rules are reasonable as far as they prohibit glorifying illegitimate violence. Whether the platforms applies the rules in this way for other cases or not is irrelevant for this particular case, even if we know the TOS are applied pretty arbitrarily.
