I'm sure most racists would.

I do. My point is that they know there's no connection but see it as essential that there should be. A big part of the alt-right is pre-emptive whataboutery.

Ooh, put that one back in the knifebox, tiger.

That smacks of Occam's broom to me.

Well, it bears repeating. You guys only have Trump as president. We found a posh thick racist and thought "let's put him specifically in charge of dealing with foreign people", right after he spent months campaigning AGAINST some of our closest allies. He effectively have two Foreign Secretaries - him, and another…

I'm always shocked that people actually like it - and that some people really think it's the best episode (it's clearly Bart Sells His Soul). It's just insanely mean-spirited.

I suppose I read it as them giving up something that they like but don't *need* in order to make the boys realise what they've been taking for granted. I don't think it's a problem really. Maybe the breakdown of communication is bad, but it's also pretty accurate.

I think it's because when politicians think of "the average voter", they think that their politics will be the average of all voters' politics. But it doesn't really work that way.

Meh, I thought that one was okay personally.

That's a shame, because again, the truth is a hundred times worse.

Nope. Sorry, but there isn't an "alt-left", no matter how desperately some people want/need there to be. We do not live in a just world, there is not equal fault on both sides, opposing racism is objectively more rational than being a racist.

I honestly never got the sense that the Democrats were seen that way by anyone except the "alt-right" - and that's clearly politically motivated.

South Park has always been very good at making characters loathsome without making you want to stop watching them. It's hard to do that, because you either make them too appalling or - way worse - by making them funny you make them too likeable to avoid relating to.

The thing is, it's pretty much immediately followed by a scene where Garrison does the exact same thing to some random guy who annoyed him in a grocery store.

I like to think of Trump as the ultimate incentive to become the Federation.

It would be pretty funny if that was thrown in her face at some point, tbh.

He's always been a vehicle for the show to say that an attitude or an opinion is awful, because it's coming out of him… meaning that they can then question why it's awful by showing Cartman either objecting to it, or showing him "winning" despite agreeing with it.

The tragedy is that the reality of Boris Johnson is so much worse.

It figuratively writes itself.

I don't even get why America uses the electoral college in Presidential elections.
