Well, looks like I have something else to add to my subscription list at my LCS.

I like that so far he's specifically saying he doesn't want to just go as simple as "Trump sucks!" or anything like that, but is more interested in tapping into the general anxiety of "This is not normal" which he is partially responsible for creating. Focusing on the feeling and less on the details should lead to a more interesting story. Ultimately it does depend on his skill as a writer. Judging from SoB I trust King a lot more than I do Snyder to write that type of comic.
And while I get that writers should seek out different perspectives (and this is where I may be getting too political), its hard for me to imagine a concrete argument for someone justifying what is going on now as "This is how things should be". I'm not saying that argument doesn't exist, but despite my best efforts I haven't heard one yet. I'll end with my opinion that this is distinct from what I understand are conservative and democratic values, which is a different (and sensible) argument, but I understand if you or others choose to ignore this paragraph entirely because this place is for comics discussion, not necessarily political discussion.
Oooh, can you explain? I want to get it, but so far, I'm a bit puzzled.
My problem is that for people like me, we have seen the world very differently for the past 8 (or 24, depending on how far right you are) years, and there's been almost no sense that our perspective matters in fiction - comics, films, etc - during that time. The world always has problems, and art should attempt to address those problems. But to ignore people who see different problems than you is what I'm frustrated with right now.
