I have a music blog and I've put together a compilation of dozens of anti-Trump protest songs. I call it "Rock Trump Out." You can find it here:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2020/10/various-artists-rock-trump-out-volumes.html

Lots of great artists. Here's the song list:

01. That's What Makes Us Great (Bruce Springsteen & Joe Grushecky)
02. Old Man Trump (Ryan Harvey, Ani DiFranco & Tom Morello)
03. Justice (Dumpstaphunk with Trombone Shorty)
04. Hail to the Chief (Prophets of Rage)
05. Make America Great Again (Pussy Riot)
06. Wouldn't Want to Be like You (Sheryl Crow with Annie Clark)
07. Tin Foil Hat (Todd Rundgren with Donald Fagen)
08. Million Dollar Loan (Death Cab for Cutie)
09. Season of Change (Stone Foundation with Bettye LaVette)
10. Make This World (Lee Fields & the Expressions)
11. Can't You Tell (Aimee Mann)
12. What's He Gonna Say Today (Eric Bibb)
13. Is This the Life We Really Want (Roger Waters)
14. Fergus Laing (Richard Thompson)
15. Don't Lie to Me (Barbra Streisand)

01. March March (Chicks)
02. Two Steps Forward (Kirk Fletcher)
03. Above the Law (O'Jays)
04. Shame (Tedeschi Trucks Band)
05. [Keep Mar-a-Lago But] I Want America Back (Eric Hirshberg)
06. Man without a Soul (Lucinda Williams)
07. What the Hell (Elvin Bishop & Charlie Musselwhite)
08. Hands Off (Joan Osborne)
09. Hung Out to Dry (Hoodoo Gurus)
10. Despite Repeated Warnings (Paul McCartney)
11. In the End (Sheryl Crow)
12. Turntables (Janelle Monae)
13. Do or Die (Ani DiFranco)
14. This Man (Robert Cray)
15. Vote That Fucker Out (Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby)
16. Lookin' for a Leader 2020 (Neil Young)

So don't say there aren't any protest songs these days. There are plenty.

Not sure I would call that "new"

For something newer, I would say Bad Religion's "Age of Unreason" album from last year.
