Ehh, they are funny but they have had some Ls in the past. Two episodes come to mind: Both parties are the same Comparing being trans to identifying as a dolphin.
They've absolutely been on the wrong side before, but they've also acknowledged past mistakes. Climate change is a big example.
We're all wrong about stuff - and that's okay. It's what we do after we learn we're wrong that matters.
I grew up in a time and place that had me believing homosexuality was immoral and that white men were being discriminated against by affirmative action. What I believed was wrong, and is not representative of who I am now. But I didn't have social media or a television network keeping a record of every time I said something awful.
It's all satire, there is no wrong side.
What do they think of US invasion and occupation of Iraq?
They did Team America World Police, in which the lesson is we are total dicks but some assholes need to be fucked.
Maybe let people improve without testing them incessantly?
The type of reaction you had sometimes only serves to keep people from wanting to introspect and grow.
Bro they've done 340ish episodes, they're going to miss from time to time. 99.5% is pretty damn good.
How dare you
If you are comparing the establishment parties in America right now, it is pretty accurate that both parties are the same. They are both beholden to the private Epstein's class and the corporate lobbying interests that they are bribed with. Not to mention that they are consistently on the wrong side by supporting Israel without a fault and even actively trying to jeopardize the chances of up and coming anti establishment progressive candidates.
In regards to the dolphin episode, I know the one you are referring to and from my memory it had 0 reference to trans people. It was just about Kyle wanting to play in the NBA and his dad admitting he always wanted to be a dolphin. If you are reading that as a correlation with trans people, that's on you.
Somehow my addled brain remembers that there was a sex change in the episode and Kyle's dad made a fuss about the bathrooms not being accommodating to him: "South Park" Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina (TV Episode 2005) - IMDb https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0705943/
At least the first one is actually true...
I mean, both parties (and any party in any place of the world) is the same: a bunch of mythomaniacs, sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists, kleptomaniacs, pedophiles and murderers who don't care about the citizens, the people, but only their own pockets and their shitty hedonisms.

(my bold)
They literally created an entire separate series about Bush called That's My Bush. This is even mentioned in your own source.
When was that written? I can easily think of a worse President
