god, I remember when I was first around and I first met Raider; he was like the first "gmod staff" in this community who would get on during the summer regularly I was around that didn't make me hate my time on the server. Raider doesn't turn the place into an authoritarian nightmare where the people who like to have a little bit of fun aren't immediately decimated into oblivion. In fact, I think you were the main inspiration I attempted to be staff (we all know how that turned out, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here). The point is that you're someone who inspires others, and that's something that a lot of potential staff candidates lack: energy.
In regards to what happened last month, I really think that was trivial bullshit and it should be water under the bridge with your apology you posted earlier. I think there was misunderstandings on both sides of that argument but it's resolved and shouldn't be held against you. Also, who the FUCK cares about someone's political views on a staff app? Not really sure why that's worth even mentioning on a Garry's Mod forum page, but go off I guess..? Merit is the most important thing in a Moderator application; if Raider was constantly arguing with others and shitting on people who have differing views, I would understand bringing it up. In my time knowing him, he hasn't really done that.
In terms of your actual staffing ability: as I had previously stated, I find your staffing approach to be what everyone should be. You know the fine line between having fun and being an asshole, and you only ever step in when individuals cross that line. Almost any interaction I have with you, rather than sounding as if you hate your life the entire time you are speaking, you are full of life and energy which is what made the server more enjoyable for me.
TL/DR: I support you becoming a Moderator, and I wish you the best of luck on this application.
+1, Love you Raider.
