I just watched Roseanne, and I thought it was actually kind of genius.
The way they effortlessly handled all the loose ends from previous seasons (Dan's death, the lottery, the two beckys, etc.), while still making it incredibly entertaining and relevant.
I did NOT come across as Pro-Trump or ultra-conservative at all to me. If anything, the show snuck in a few socially liberal issues (Mark especially) that probably made many conservative people be more empathetic towards. That is quite a mighty feat if you think about it.
And honestly, many families are extremely divided like that now. There's really no getting around it. It's a very painful reality happening at every dinner table. I hate Trump as much as the next @forumzer, but I can't pretend like he (and his supporters) don't exist. "Roseanne" is just taking that reality and turning it around into something that we can laugh at. Which is, quite frankly, what we all need more of these days.
