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!

I haven’t watched the Panderverse special yet, but…all I care about is “Was it funny?” I don’t really give a shit about what did or didn’t align with my sociopolitical views. There’s been plenty of that I’ve agreed with in South Park, and a lot where I thought they missed the mark.
