I disabled Ads/Clickbait in my browser extension, and I am still blocked from the site. The only suspicious activity is that of Malwarebytes! This is pure political bias.

I've been getting these "Clickbait" warnings from Malwarebytes on most of the conservative sites I have visited for the past two months. I called the company and complained, and the support guy just gave me their standard bullshit response, saying they are doing this to protect my computer. I explained that clickbait doesn't hurt a computer, that none of these sites contain clickbait, and I don't use Malwarebytes to be protected from clickbait. He just kept reading me the official response. Very disgusting.
Tonight I tried to make a donation to Dave Brat, a Republican running for Congress in Virginia. After filling out my credit card information, the last step was to select the button, "Donate." When I clicked on the button, Malwarebytes blocked my browser saying, "Suspicious Activity," and the donation didn't go through.
I don't know if this is against the law, but it should be! What a shame to see Malwarebytes stoop to such such dishonest and fraudulent behavior. The company belongs in that same basket of deplorables that includes Facebook, Twitter, and Google -- and maybe Ben & Jerry's. At least none of those other disgusting companies are going so far as to block donations to Republicans.
Malwarebytes blocking center/conservative sites as clickbait

I just tried reloading the page davebrat.com, and I got the "suspicious activity" block. That was with both Malware/Scams and Ads/Clickbait deselected. Then I opened a new window in Chrome and went to davebrat.com with no problem. I selected both Malware/Scams and Ads/Clickbait ON, and reloaded davebrat.com, again with no problem.
I have never encountered a web page for which you throw up the Clickbait warning that wasn't a conservative website. For example, you warn about clickbait for crimeresearch.org -- obviously because that site debunks popular gun control arguments. Convince me that this is not political bias.
