I read that article where Stone and Parker were Republicans, and I haven't watched the show in years.

I figure it's a lot of "lets make fun of SJW culture" these days. Which I'm really not going to watch

No wonder they hate Seth McFarlane

For the most part Mr Garrison (Trump) isnt in it. I think they have said reality is worse then anything they can come up with about him.

I thought they were libertarians that just tended to hate liberals more than conservatives. "I don't like conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals" was I think what one of them said one time in an interview. Of course, their views can change.

Honestly, that's how I am...I hate conservatives for all the same reasons most people do, but there's something about liberals that really rubs me the wrong way and pisses me off almost twice as much. I think it's mostly the self-righteousness.

South Park has always played both sides. They've never let their personal politics keep them from making fun of something.

They're libertarian, as in Libertarian and not a "I'm a Republican but I'm too embarrassed to admit it but I'll excuse everything they do anyways so just call me libertarian cause I don't know what else to call myself" that's highly prolific in the states.

The politics on South Park have always rubbed me the wrong way tbh

Or even just the general "vibe" of the show

One that stood out was Sally Struthers who on the show was portrayed as an annoying large Jabba the Hutt style monster.

Like oh wow she's overweight and advocates for children in developing countries. Fuck her, right?

Also the way they handled global warming and shit was dumb as fuck

Thing is, these people are so self righteous any little nudge that they might not be 100% correct is seen as hitler.

I fail to see how being socially liberal makes someone a conservative or embarrassed republican.

It really evinces how clueless people are with this mindset regarding libertarians. They are far more in the middle than either major party. They also don't agree on all issues. You have many open borders type libtertarians for instance.

The core tenant of libertarians is the non aggression principle. Outside of that they are varied in their political and philosophical outlook.

Many like doom art were quite upset about it and feel so good since the last episode; like they are cathartic!

Except that mocking al gore back in the day was quite fair as he was an alarmist who took it to extremes rather than explaining in a tempered and logical way.

Much like my above example, most political "criticisms" or parodies the show makes can be boiled down to:

"Oh wow person X cares/is passionate about issue Y. What a loser!"

It's not like offensive or anything, just pretty dumb when you think about it lol
