Once Trump became a very public and very loud cult public ridicule became inevitable.
I wonder if the dumbest members of society will fly Trump flags in 100 years just like they fly confederate flags now.

Trey and Matt have always been political. Remember when they ridiculed California for empathetic homelessness policies? Some might even say Team America: World Police may be perceived as political

wasnt south park alway political, why are conservatives acting like it suddenly became it. whats up with all the conservative comments not knowing what sOUTH park is about.
replies:
South Park wasn't always pop culture either. The best South Park episodes are kids being kids where the scenario is forced to a kid-logic conclusion.
Fun Times with Weapons is the best example of that.

Famously non-political South Park episodes:
-
Black people who complain about racism are the real racists (Chef Goes Nanners, S04E7)
-
Asking a doctor to do a gender reinforcng operation is the same as asking a doctor to make you black or a dolphin (Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina, S09E1)
-
Global warming was made up by Al Gore (Multiple, starting with ManBearPig, S10E9)

South Park has been political for a quarter century running. Libertarian dipshits don't know what the word means. Nothing they do is politics, because they're the default. Like how they don't have an accent, or an ethnicity. Those are ways other people are being different at them.
Reading the comments is weird because to me it feels like either people are unaware of the context, or are ignoring it on purpose.
His response was about this season’s unusual targeting of the administration. South Park was always political, but it is unusual for the show to focus so much on the current administration of the US, that’s what he was talking about and asked about.
Maybe he could’ve used different words but to me it’s clear what he meant.

nothing says not political like making an entirely new character called "starvin' marvin" to mock food inequality and famine in african countries.
I think it’s a little bit of both
Gen Xers who've been conditioned to think politics were for losers their whole lives unable to comprehend their own politics well into middle-age.
replies:
Everything is political, and South Park has been one of the most political popular shows. I guess he means it didn't explicitly feature politicians as much.

The weirdest thing is how true this statement is:
“It’s like the government is just in your face everywhere you look,” Parker said. “Whether it’s the actual government or whether it is all the podcasters and the TikToks and the YouTubes and all of that, and it’s just all political and political because it’s more than political. It’s pop culture.”
South park has always been political. Fucking idiots
They're out of touch, libertarian, centimillionaires. Fucking hilarious out of touch, libertarian, centimillionaires, but still, no one should take them seriously.

Just a reminder that they are also TERFs Transphobic.
Edit: I originally called them TERFs, what I meant was transphobes. They are transphobes and thus not the great allys everyone wants them to be.
