Show begins 27th season covering Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount and cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, depicting Trump in bed with Satan
South Park has kicked off its 27th season with a blistering episode taking aim at Donald Trump and its newly minted parent company, Paramount, just one day after signing a $1.5bn deal with the network.
The premiere episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan and covers topics including Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount, the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wokeness, Trump’s attacks on Canada and more.
Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.
What do you mean change their tune? They have always made fun of Trump or Mr Garrison.
They championed the cause of the Enlightened Centrist Vaguely Libertarian Bro-Dude for decades. That simply has an effect on the society when you’re creating something as popular as South Park.
Sure, they joined all the other actually rational libertarian bro-types but it turns out there were never that many of those.
I remember this book being pumped for a while there, even - it was called South Park Conservatives.

Honestly the enlightened centrist path doesnt look too shabby when you realize 1. The Corporate class owns american politics 2. Americans are brainwashed beyond belief and 3. The only path to a successful revolution in the US is AFTER the Bonapartist Trumpers break everything anyway (5 to 15+ years)
I dont blame people for saying fuck this and just living their lives. It’s all done now any way, if we held everyone to their past decisions and positions not sure we would gain many comrades nor be progressive in any way.
If you zoom out, trump is actually historically progressive. He is single handedly heightening the crises of capital, proletarianizing the petite bourgeois and lumpen, destroying american influence globally and obliterating faith in bourgeois democracy while simultaneously intensifying the contradictions within society between the propertied class and bourgeoisie and the working masses. Name me a democrat who can do that? Funny tho i can name plenty democrats who deported immigrants, locked up people in jails for nothing, and committed atrocities in the name of capital.
