Well, I think it mostly means they are unhappy with the direction the show went in by being so overtly political last season. Especially as they were completely wrong in predicting the outcome of the election and had to slap together an ending for the season they weren't happy with.

If it isn't difficult to understand, then why do you refuse to do so when it comes to the opposition party? You literally said that people on the right can't just support the good things their representatives do, they have to support the killing as well. Surely that must go for liberals as well. Yet then you make an

I also like the nuance. For all his irritating behavior, P.C. Principal really was out to make the world a better place. He was well-intentioned and was not remotely the enemy. Similarly, the end of the season illustrated the idea "sometimes people we don't like are useful in certain situations, but don't forget what

Uh, what? I heard more about my being a "special snowflake" from Clinton supporting liberals than from any conservative.

I think Season 19 was their best ever. I've watched it all the way through several times. I think it's brilliant on every level.

And the goal-posts shift!

Well, liberals themselves hurl the "snowflake, unicorn" stuff around, as well, I can tell you as a Sanders supporter.

No one should be trying to be a "good father" to anyone over 18. Let people drink sodas if they want to drink sodas, and stop trying to manipulate them through economic means to behave the way you want them to behave. It's one thing if we're talking about trying to reform genuinely criminal behavior—murder, rape,

Then people who voted for Hillary and Obama love murderers, I guess. We have limited choices. And power corrupts. So we "average" people, liberal or conservative, often end up supporting people who do things we despise.

Agree, but I don't think that Parker and Stone's point was "We want to be cool, so we're going to be really alternative by being anti-Left." I think their point was that many people on the Left grant themselves the "cool" "outsider" status, and that is pretty much self-congratulatory bullshit.

I literally don't know what he's going for. Does he mean politicians, not "regular people"?

There's also the fact that the solutions Democrats offer are complex, and complex thinking can't be effectively reduced to a sound byte. I'm not into demonizing Republicans or Libertarians. I am a liberal and, yeah, I do think the liberal answer is generally the effective one. But having a superiority trip about that

Ugh. I know plenty of people on the right, and none of them want to kill numerous people.

That people don't get this—and they don't—baffles me.

I guess it depends on what you call easy targets. I think because they exaggerate everything, it can looks like their going after cliched targets, but I'm not sure that's what they do. They certainly don't pull the "did you hear about those clowns in Congress? What a bunch of clowns" stuff. It's true that their

Except they haven't. They did very little with Clinton, W. or Obama. They tend to go after political positions rather than political personalities.

I completely agree, but I also think "Trump sucks" or "Trump is so stupid" is just an easy way to be a conformist. You know beforehand that you're going to patted on the back and thought of as good, intelligent virtuous just by parroting other phrases. It's like Homer Simpsons "Don't get me started on the goverment!"

Well, first of all, "both sides are the same" isn't identical to "both sides suck" and only the latter would be approaching nihilism. But it also ignores the big argument, which is that presuming there are only two simple sides to an argument is an example is childlike, reductive thinking that discounts the complexity

I would agree with you in general, but I thought this was a fairly reasonable, if imperfect, article. Considering the crap Parker and Stone receive around here—and is already showing up in the comments—it comes across as surprisingly nuanced.

South Park is the opposite of nihilistic. It says people are basically good, and if the Gladys Kravitzes of the world would look inside their own houses rather than peeking in other people's windows, we'd all be just fine.
