matt_zimmerI only saw the first episode back when it was airing and thought it was pedestrian and unfunny. But really people SAVAGED that show. For supposedly being obvious and unfunny, and basically being as assholish as possible to Republicans in ways even THEY don't deserve.
20 years later, for THAT specific complaint, I'm thinking liberals ought to have stuck up for it more than we did. Granted, the show wasn't great, but I don't think the show was canceled after one season because of bad ratings. It was because of the backlash.
The backlash was obviously bullshit then and now. Now it's bullshit because I am supposed to believe the American people, who have elected Donald Trump twice now, have political tastes much too sophisticated for that show's boorishness. Yeah, no. Bullshit.
The thing that was bullshit at the time was the idea that the gross attacks against Republicans were unfair. They weren't, but even if they were, I remember the types of shots South Park was taking at liberals at the time. Stan once became a vegetarian and his lack of eating meat caused sores to develop all over his body. It turns out they were vaginas because he was turning into a giant pussy. Explain to me how the politics of THAT are smarter and savvier than Lil' Dick Cheney biting the head off a chicken.

It’s the warmongering Commander in Chief as a little guy. You should know exactly what you’re getting into.
People are getting illegally deported to my birth country. I’ve had weeks worth of reading xenophobic comments and “jokes” from both sides. FOX News dismissed us as human beings capable of enjoying American sports like everyone else.
Those are just a few of the hefty reasons right now for why I could never find the Orangeman tiny-hands shit to be funny.
Doesn’t at all correlate with anything that should give me a laugh, but I’m not shaming anyone else either. If platforms are in place to hate me as a person, a few innocuous shitposts here and there won’t bother anything.
