It appears, and I thought it would as I agree to some extent, that the obvious references to Trump's divisiveness would be upsetting to some especially since this series is suppose to be entertaining fantasy and not politicized social commentary. The writer's could have been "meaner" to our President by referencing his avoidance of Viet Nam service w/plantar faciaitis (I've had it twice & about all it does is bother you when you first wake up then you can run miles or play bball for hours - no problem), or his tax avoidance, or his dad bankrolling his retail land flipping, or his treatment of much much younger females.
So the central plot theme was his emboldening the far active right to act upon their beliefs by mobilizing our innate fears thus determining the political future. It was not accident that "clowns" were chosen as the fear carriers.
Another, related, politicized theme was female degradation, and whether they "can win an argument w/their husband"; "won't be catcalled"; "bosses won't talk about their tits"; "women can't lead"; "can be outsmarted & out muscled"; "should do is shut up"; "know their place & make a goddamn sandwich".
