How many episodes did they do about Obama, Bush or the Clintons?

But it's also easy to say that because there's a group of people who like to be crass and offensive, they somehow owe their existence to a TV show which likes to be crass and offensive. The argument that pop culture causes bad behaviour has always been the easy answer and it goes back at least as far as "Oh! You Kid!".

P.S. for more information on debasing caricatures in American culture, google "Jim Crow". Then decide if South Park "honed that tactic to a T". Then google "white privilege".

Dude, you're throwing a tantrum because people have the temerity to disagree with you. Go take a nap.

So is that not something that's been happening for centuries then? Are South Park and the alt-right really the two shining examples in American history of a group "dismissing opposing viewpoints (by creating) a strawman charicature sockpuppet and have it do stupid, indefensible, debasing and humiliating shit"?

Say, this Jellyroll Morton kid has moxie!

"We're going to keep trying to strengthen the American family. To make them more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons."

Which cartoon taught you to be an asshole to everyone you disagree with?

I didn't change "generally" to "entirely". When I used the word "generally" I was referring to TV shows, when I used the word "entirely" I was referring to people's moral views. I used both words in my first comment ("TV shows generally are the moral soil out of which entire generations grow…").

Whatever you guys, I think it's cute that Donald is finally making friends.

Pausing only to urge you to calm down, I didn't "dismiss the importance of culture on a society". I dismissed the notion that political movements grow as a direct result of what cartoons their members watch. Blaming South Park for the alt-right is like blaming Mayberry for Reagan.

Putting aside the likelihood or not of that being the case, how exactly did South Park manage to raise a generation that voted for Obama twice if they're simply the fountainhead for the alt-right?

Maybe that's an American thing, but if you need cartoon TV shows to teach you right from wrong then you're a dumb motherfucker.

They barely touched Obama, Bush or Clinton in the past though. They've already spent far more time satirising Trump than any previous president or candidate. The next closest is probably Al Gore.

I think the idea that cartoons and TV shows generally are the moral soil out of which entire generations grow is either complete bullshit or the ultimate symbol of humanity's inherent irredeemable stupidity.

Well of course Herpes would say that
