Just what kind of research on right-wingers did this Top Cow contributor do?
A comics writer at Top Cow named Bryan Edward Hill claimed he did some research for a comic book project, and spoke to conservatives about it, but doesn't come off sounding particularly respectable:
What if they did, and he's chosen not to be honest about it? What if they cited socialism and its disasters as an example? How the Obamacare system is built off of that whole atrocity? None of this seems to matter to the guy.
Umm, what if the rest of that sentence reads as, "I am against religions that preach evil"? Including racism? He hasn't even cited what exactly they said, so I can't understand anything he's driving at.
I think this guy would do well not to read the X-Men. He can't even bring himself to clarify whether they're referring to liberals hating them.
What I find here is little talk about whether he sees any value in conservatism, or whether any examples I may have cited were echoed in what his interviewees brought up. And if that leads to a comics project that asks far more than it answers, then I'll see no point in buying it. It's like rolling the dice in a Monopoly game and going nowhere around the board. What a disappointment Hill's turning out to be.
Talked to a group of Trump voters yesterday for comic project research. They rationalized away a lot of this, but it's sticking. (Thread)— BryanEdwardHill (@bryanedwardhill) May 11, 2017
What struck me is how they felt attacked, victimized and ostracized by an elitist boogeyman that they couldn't define.— BryanEdwardHill (@bryanedwardhill) May 11, 2017

Me being black, I heard a lot of "I'm not a racist but..." on Muslims and immigration and race relations, but little reason. Just emotion.— BryanEdwardHill (@bryanedwardhill) May 11, 2017

The most striking comment was "Suddenly everything I see says that I'm a horrible person. I'm not! Everyone hates us." A lot of head nods.— BryanEdwardHill (@bryanedwardhill) May 11, 2017

What I found was a lot of sunk cost emotional investment, personal identification, but little talk about policy and specifics.— BryanEdwardHill (@bryanedwardhill) May 11, 2017

Hill wants to talk about policy and specifics? How about Ft. Hood, Orlando, Boston, Chattanooga, and San Bernardino? How about a government that responded to those incidents by threatening to "take action" against anyone who said anything that might be interpreted (or misinterpreted) as "anti-Muslim rhetoric"?
How about the ACA forcing hard-working citizens to pay higher rates for decreased coverage?
And the elitists are not hard to identify. Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein, Soros. People who live in gated communities, surrounded by walls and armed guards, and who never have to deal with the consequences of unvetted immigration, or with the consequences of their de-incarceration policy that released dangerous criminals.
And I never hear any rational talk about policy and specifics from the left. Just crazy conspiracy theories and wild accusations of racism and sexism.

The "elitist boogeyman" would also include the the hypocritical limousine liberals in Hollywood. Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, et al. They live in gated communities and accuse everyone else of racism for wanting a border wall.
