I imagine that if he saw the recent Watchmen serious on HBO, he was violently fapping to the scenes of masked Tulsa police officers raiding a trailer park believed to have been sheltering members of the 7th Cavalry (a white supremacist terrorist organization whose members all wear Rorschach masks) and beating the everloving snot out of the residents.

I'm not even that big a fan of Watchmen, but everything I hear about that series bugs the rivets out of me.
I know "Cosmonaut Variety Hour" defended it as saying "but the comic was political too" - yeah, political on NUCLEAR topics. The new show? Is political on RACIAL topics. So first off, your point crashes because of the story drastically shifting gears, same as if it jumped genres going from a gritty deconstruction to a rom-com.
And as an extension of this, the change in political topics ends up being dumb as rocks. I have a pretty low opinion of humans (all being inferior to robots and all) but the one thing I know is that human will divide between themselves until a larger division arises. i.e. Siblings will fight each other until the neighbor down the street is an asshole. Neighbors will fight until the guy from the next town over is a jerk. Towns will fight until another nation attacks yours. And this means, racial problems are going to evaporate pretty fast when FUCKING ALIENS ARRIVE. They might arise again if the aliens are like the prawn in District 9, but in Watchmen, the "alien" (as far as the world knows - and remember that a big part of the show is that it still believes the lie) showed up and massacred MILLIONS of humans, and traumatized more with what we're told is a psychic attack. White? Black? Cop? Civilian? Who cares, we've got to get ready and band together to take on this dangerous race that's going to kill us all!
The whole thing about trying to comment on race relations is not only shoving a square peg into a round hole, but also undercutting the very foundation and concept of the idea of a "sequel" series in the first damn place! Again, like I said with Trek: Discovery - if you want to make your own commentary, DO IT IN YOUR OWN PROPERTY AND STOP RAPING OTHERS' WORK.

Krist Novoselic, a man who played on stage with someone who created an entire genre of rock music who also played alongside a drummer who went on to be the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, has accomplished far more in life than you ever will Bob.

You don't really have to go that far, Alan Moore is a hardcore leftist who didn't care to be as politically biased as he possibly could, but more importantly he is a good writer trying to make a good story and not a pandering one. Which is what a lot of modern writers do. He could make a watchmen sequel about race and it would be at least good.
The world in Watchmen is absolutely shit due to right wing overdose but there were no magic solutions to this, Ozymandias is the perfect leftist chad analogy but his "Magical science solution" is batshit insane, couldn't stand further review, probably will make things worse eventually and even he doubts it after his delusion breaks off.
The Comedian is the absolute worst example for right wing stereotype and even he is shown to have human factions ex: Trying to reconnect with his daughter, being horrified at Veidt's plan.
The right wing Klan in the series is just even more of a caricacture than a comic character.

I was reading through his timeline, but that nigga tweets way too much. Someone needs to make a new addition to the consoomer meme of him with "supports corporations that make empty support" or some shit. I'm not a proffessional meme maker, but in this moment...

Since Bob fancies himself such a comics expert 
, I’m surprised he didn’t weigh in on this bit of performative wokeness.

I don't know even if Moore "wanted" to make a book about race if that would work. I say this because while you can attach a myriad of interpretations and themes to the original watchmen, when it was written, Moore was probably more concerned about the story itself, and if we look at his other works, like the League of Extraordinary gentleman and From Hell, these are just pulp and crime stories as well.
Sure there is V for Vendetta, but I still think Moore just wanted to tell a story about anarchy than make a legit political statement. Still, Vendetta is way more political than Watchmen ever was.
The shitty thing about works of fiction that want to hold a political message first and foremost is that the characters serve first and foremost as placeholders and mouthpieces for whatever stratas of society the author wants to comment on. Ayn Rand books were notorious for that, every character barely has it's own agency or proper personality, they just behave in a a fashion that Rand wants to comment or critique upon. Hell, even their objectivst heroes act like robots, and funny enough, the other characters say that as well.
But in watchmen, even though you can point out what each character represent in the "political spectrum", they still act as themselves, without the need to represent a message from the author.
Dr. Manhattan may have found the value of life, but he seems more annoyed with humans than anything else. he saved Veidt's plan, but he peaced out right after.
Veidt might claim boundless love for humanity, and says that he feels every death he inflicted, but those words sound hollow because it's easy to be sanctimonious when it's not your life on the line. Fucker even killed his cat to get to his objectives.
Dan and Laurie are very virtuous and "good and resonable" people, but when faced with a situation and a question that goes way beyond their shallow perspectives and understanding (Dan even says as much), because in the end they are very self-centered people, worried about their own problems (the entire book they just whine about their own frustrations), they are unable to cope with it so they choose the easy way out, compliance. And right after that, they confort each other by fucking.
And Rorschach, who Moore describes as a right wing lunatic, possible the furthest away from what Moore believes, is the only one who stands his ground and act against Veidt. It would be easy for Moore to just make Rorschach the unreasonable idiot that doesn't understand what is at stake, but since Moore is a writter, he just wrote what the character he created would do, and that is to never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon.
In the end, Alan moore wrote people in a "who dunnit" story with superheroes. Sure, Rorschach is the most popular because people tend to gravitate to heroes that show conviction, even if he was also a violent phsycho. But regardless of public reaction, the characters fell naturally in their places because of who they are, not because of what they represent or a message they want to convey.
And that is why if the starting point of making a watchmen is to convey a message about race, or any other present social issue, it would lose, or at least diminish, what made the original story compelling.

I always had a feeling that Watchmen's story gravitated toward portraying Rorschach as a bad person. Showing his philosophy and character as both destructive and ugly, with the character's popularity being despite Moore's intentions. But it's a very subjective interpretation.
Also, I'll add The Comedian as being a representative of the IRL shitposter that just laughs at everything bad happening and basks in his own happiness (which isn't too different from his daughter).

Don’t worry — his alt account is already sorely neglected. I think Bob expected to put all his political sperging on a private account to give himself cover to say super fucked up shit during the riots. But he has extremely poor judgment and nonexistent impulse control, so he’s just losing his mind on his “business” account as usual.
