“but I have had Rebbeim who would have agreed with him on everything”

I have not.
I have spent my life in charedi environments have spoken to dozens of mainstream chatredi Rabbonim, rosehi yeshivos, and have never met anyone who thought women’s suffrage must end , that we should hope to die al kiddush Hashem, who didn’t understand how mechiras chometz works (and who needed it explained year after year asking the same question as if it hasnt been discussed before).

There are some opinions like “Calling the police/ticket maids on someone blocking your driveway is mesira.” or That giving presents is chukas hagoy which are not normative charedi views among those Ive met or know other than some Am haaratzim who thought those were normative charedi opinons so they repeated them (of course once pointed out why they are mistaken, and they still harbor those am haratzos-dik views It is safe to assume they are trolling)

“I believe that what Joseph reveals on the CR is that the modern orthodox are amazed that Chareidim exist to the degree that they have to try to explain it away as “trolling.” ”

Yes, some people do do that . and I agree with your general sentiment. Though I dont think all of Joseph’s comments fall into that category. While I disagree with Joseph on many things eg Zionism,. I didnt use those examples, since while I disagree with him. I have met people with those views.
