“South Park” is back to once again mock President Donald Trump — and this time, Vice President JD Vance, too.
The Comedy Central show took aim at the president, as well as Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in its latest episode, “Got A Nut,” which aired on Aug. 6.
The episode revolves around school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and, because he’s desperate for money, joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A parody ad for the federal agency mocks its recruitment process, with a jingle declaring, “We don’t ask for experience, just show up!”
A lot more than 2 years, and it really says a lot that you think those 2 are centrists.
These artist with a massive platform do everything in their power to avoid addressing class conflict and instead fill that “edge” with small penis and fart jokes. Yes. I would say that is literally the definition of “center”.
Challenging the current president instead of addressing the structures that brought about fascism in America is absolutely a failure.
You can absolutely and should challenge the current president. But doing that in a time of fascist uprising WITHOUT pointing to the historical materialism that explains what brings these fascist to power. Yeah. It’s insufficient and a failure.
It is making liberals feel as if the next election can still fix things. Keeping them complacent in the mean time. Do I think that is their intention? No. They exist with a platform like this BECAUSE they do not push past that edge. The same reason that successful talking heads are successful because they’re world views align with ruling class narratives.
They make the edge feel like it’s being pushed. While they sit in the right side of a fence that every thinks is far to the right of them.
