All the cases of people being turned away at the border over social media posts that I have seen reported were about illegal work. I am afraid even the CBP agents might not be bored enough to read some rando's political screeds. But it's impossible to tell for sure as your admission is solely the matter for the officer who would be handling your arrival.

What does this link have to do with what I wrote? There is not even the word "border" mentioned in the article. This article talks about canceled visas, not people denied entry at the border.
You think the same government that will kick people out of the country for saying something they don’t agree with will let people in the country for saying something they don’t agree with?
Canceling a visa does not kick anyone out of the country as far as I know. And the article says their visas were revoked for celebrating death of Americans, it surely is "something they don't agree with" but your implication that it happens for anything they don't agree with is poorly thought through. Unless you really think celebrating someone's death is a regular thing normal people do, in that case you probably are a psychopath.
Yes I’m sure the same administration - the one that pardoned 1500 people who tried to kill the sitting VP - would have acted the same if it wasn’t a racist podcaster and instead someone of color.
Maybe they have done that out of pity? I mean, if you try to kill one senior citizen with 1499 of your buddies and still fail then how do you even keep yourself fed?
