Sometimes South Park I think is a bit too nihilistic in a weaponized way for me but to be fair it has also gone straight at the assholes of the world too, but even from my mixed-bag perspective on South Park I can see Trump attacking South Park is probably the absolute worst thing Trump could possibly do that I could possibly imagine.
South Park writers will steamroll Trump over and over again, I really hope this feud continues because it is going to be hilarious. Like… say what you will about South Park writers, you cannot deny that they aren’t smart, reactive to changing cultural realities and willing to say it how the writers think it is… and Trump is absolutely none of those things (and he is only getting more out of touch as he deteriorates mentally).
This is like watching a nature documentary where a bee sees one of those parasite wasps and bravely tries to intimidate it away and you are like “oof… this is going to end realllll bad for you buddy” as you listen to the narrator describe how the parasitic wasp will inject its eggs into the bee to use as an incubator.
:)
I mean, this is embarassing for Trump and the people around him at the basic level that they clearly don’t actually understand South Park isn’t really leftist, or at least it isn’t reflective of the vast majority of leftism in the US now. South Park is its own thing and it has frequently pissed of the left as much as the right, that is kind of the point of the show?
I don’t even understand the motivation. Much of Trump’s 2020 coalition is composed of white guys who got their entire education of the world from Comedy Central reruns. They have a stronger loyalty to South Park than they do to Trump.

facepalm
We should also remember that they turn around episodes in under a week. And when something REALLY juicy happens, they’ll do it in under a day.
Hence the jokes about Colbert being taken off the air in the episode launched less than a week later
This season is going to be a bit more dated, mostly because of the custody battle. But they’re obviously adding more recent things in before they air.
They just got $1.5 billion to make fifty more episodes and anything the White House says will just be fodder for another episode.
Holy shit I hadn’t heard that yet

And if Paramount pulls the show to appease Dementor, they still get 1.5 billion.
Did they finally make it through negotiations? I assumed Skydance would be trying to kill it off
They did.
Is that why the PSA was number 1 of 50?

There isn’t necessarily anything to understand, Trump is a very old man and he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with…
Paramount will bend the knee, watch
