    They had the chance to show how ridiculous trump was back then; when it might have made a difference with their “libertarian” fanbase. Instead they softballed any criticism of him. They showed who they really are, fuck em.

      ???

      Trump has always been obviously ridiculous. You guys need to get over this idea that the people voting for him are going to have some magical come-to-Jesus moment and join the rest of us in reality after watching an episode of South Park or reading a non-“sanewashed” news article.

        I don’t expect anyone to have a come to Jesus moment. I did expect comedians who claim to hate both sides to actually act like it, rather than treat ASN obvious idiot with kid gloves when it actually mattered. Matt and Trey showed they are just Republicans who are to embarrassed to admit it with their entire 2016 election season.

          It never mattered. It’s a comedy show, no one was going to change their vote based on it. How can you still not get it after two election wins and political influence spanning a decade?

            It did actually matter. Anyone who doesn’t realize that pop culture shapes peoples opinions is either lying to themselves or an idiot.
