“South Park conservative” is a term from like 20 years ago. They’ve been doing the “both sides are the same” shit since the very beginning and really took it to the next level during the first Trump administration by almost completely punting on the issue and instead doing a bunch of “anti-woke” story lines.
And I say this as someone who was a religious fan since the very beginning. Matt and Trey are not the liberal heroes some people seem to believe they are.

I know Americans only see the world in binaries but there is a lot more to politics than “liberal vs conservative”. The views of the creators clearly sit outside of that dichotomy, and they reference and mock their own political disengagement in this episode.
I have no idea where you got that they did anti-woke storylines during the first trump presidency, I am looking back at the episodes and don’t see any being about that, they are also excellent satirists and there is shit to satirize on “both sides”, but you know the world doesn’t work in the US’s two party system.
I also don’t think “south park conservative” is any meaningful argument, they are media illiterate to a higher extent than more left leaning people, they didn’t even know Rage against the Machine is not fitting for a conservative rally and when taken at face value rather than as a satire south park may seem as right wing lots of times.
