I get what you’re trying to say….I lean pretty hard to the right and I don’t feel like any agenda is trying to be pushed in the show.

Well, the criticism of conservatives comes when Stormfront, the Nazi, basically weaponizes right wing talking points to gain popularity and followers. I haven't watched the second season since it came out in 2020, so I don't have explicit memories of the talking points used, but it's you know, anti-immigrant, anti-muslim (which they often sub in with the word "terrorist), "preserving our culture" talking points that you can see on any given night watching Tucker Carlson.

I don't think the show is saying conservatives are Nazis or even that conservative view points are akin to Nazi viewpoints. I think it's more like they're saying ill intentioned people can weaponize conservatism to advance their outwardly reasonable (secure our borders) but inwardly hateful (I hate non-white people) goals.

But that's just my read on it. I obviously have my biases. I'm glad you don't feel alienated by the show like the OP has.
