It feels like it's been since "I'm a Little Bit Country" that Matt and Trey really pulled a one off on both "sides". So much hate and love from both conservatives and liberals, wherever you look. They absolutely nailed this episode and I hope it opens our eyes to the reality of culture war bullshit.

But the best part of the episode was the labor/tech/billionaire plot. The dumbing down of society, flipant billionaires doing fuck all they want, AI taking over white collar jobs, college education being bullshit, trade work holding more value... It's a sub plot that is not political but the most important satire that they have produced. The Twitter freaks are arguing over "woke" and missing the entire fucking point!

There are plenty of episodes not rooted in contemporary politics. I I’d gather to say that a lot of the ones you’re thinking of weren’t politics but current events. But they’re point is that the peak South Park eps are timeless. Ex. Imaginationland.
