Politics will limit your audience.

If your novel is highly political, your author's note will fit right in. The author's note may even be a draw for people who agree with the politics.

A political author's note up front will annoy many readers. Annoyed readers may close the book and not open it again. They may be annoyed with themselves for having spent money on your book. They will likely not buy your next book.

If your novel is not itself political, a political afterword will annoy many readers who enjoyed the novel. Their final experience of your book will be annoyance. They will not buy your next book.
