      It’s just been on so long, it feels like it doesn’t have any teeth left, ya’know. They can skewer whoever they want and it’s just like 'Oh, South Park, you’re so cheeky xD". It’s almost an honor.

      Freedom of speech? Yeah, I guess.

      While they may be criticizing him now, some of their “takes” likely prepped a portion of the population for the MAGA life. Definitely a lot of “both sides” content. While I absolutely feel the “both sides” sentiment, I’m coming from a leftist perspective. I see both sides as supplicant to wealth and power to varying degrees, but they are very different in other important ways.

      From what I recall, their “both sides” was more some bullshit “horseshoe” perspective that equated outspoken LGBT+ “extremists” with christo-fascists. Admittedly, it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen an episode so maybe they did have better takes over time.

        lgbt+ extremists and christo facists are both authoritarians who want to control and dictate how everyone else lives their lives. there beliefs and methods are exactly the same. if you think that’s bullshit… guessing you’re one of those extremes.
