    Please. It was a guaranteed way to boost viewership, visibility and revenue.

    Edit: Oh no did the truth hurt y’all’s feelings? You think these billionaires are good ones? You people are a fucking joke.

    Shitting on Hillary for the entirety of 2016 was not. They clearly saw what would happen and Did. Not. Care. (“They made fun of both sides!” Shut up.)

    Now it’s happened - twice - and they’re heroes for stating the obvious? Nah.

    I mean, yay, hurray, and all that but c’mon. Their weak ass Libertarian bullshit failed catastrophically just like it was always going to and now they’re magically deciding maybe it would be good to fight fascism and disgustingly corrupt demented rapists. Yay.

        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.

        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.
