Just replace the bombing and taking lives away with "losing your job" and they convey similar ideas to actual political speeches. You're right on point with it being possible to work it both ways though, at it's more of an extremist fake-news sites speech than an actual political stance.Red Skull would be such a decent villain if he wasn't a caricature 😬
Nick Spencer is notorious for his far-left anti-Trump views, and that can unfortunately be seen in virtually all of his comics. He makes a caricature of legit concerns [immigration, free speech etc.] and puts them in a villainous light [having Red Skull, or Modok, give extreme versions of the same speech] to further his agenda.
Since we're on the topic..
A good writer could write an amazing Superman/Zod immigration-based story, while being fair to both sides. But in this political climate, imagine how that would turn out. Zod and his soldiers would be ISIS, and the multi-racial kryptonians would want 'peaceful integration' but be oppressed by the bald-headed humans [Lex..]
