What's It Like Being A Showrunner For A Culturally Specific Comedy In The Trump Era?

One of the showrunners for Netflix's remake of One Day at a Time says that the writers' room is basing a lot of plot details on real life - for instance, the time post-election when someone told her Cuban-American brother to "go back to Mexico," and that made it on to the show. "It’s like, 'What’s happening?' We try on the show to show many points of view. Obviously, the show has a liberal bent, but we try to show all sides of an issue so all sides of the conversation can start. This is something we thought would affect this family, so how would they talk about it? What would that look like?"
