Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

They pick who to mock and how thoroughly. I haven't watched the show in probably a decade, but up until this they were using Mr Garrison to portray "Trump".
Theoretically, nobody's safe, but in practice anything left of GWB is portrayed as a whiny baby, a stupid hippy, or whatever.
At least they seem to realize that "left wokeism" isn't the top threat in the country anymore, even if they were suckers for buying that it was in the first place.
Edit: I don't know what to tell you guys, they even have characters in this episode that are like "just because wokeism went too far in one direction doesn't mean we should go too far in the other". They really do seem to believe that because liberals are annoying to them that they're just as bad as concentration camp Trump.
This sentiment drives me up the fucking wall... No, it didn't go too far. Shut the fuck up.
Yeah, no shit... they're making fun... they aren't going to portray anyone in a good way. That's the point. Bring it on!
Have you considered the way they portray anything right of GWB? If you just want to laugh at others but get mad when it makes fun of characters you relate to, that's a you problem.
Said by their stereotype redneck character that uses slurs every line... use your brain.
Yeah, like the loggers clearing out the jungle. They portray them as heroes. Or the one where the tobacco companies are portrayed as heroes.
It's not out and out libertarian propaganda because I think there's a lot more emphasis on the jokes. But it's pretty fucking close.
🤦 Watching lemmy users discover how a joke works in realtime. Amazing. Are you familiar with the concept of satire? It's a really tough one to grasp, apparently
Nothing about their comment implies they didn't get the joke.
