I loved this episode. South Park pissed me off when they used kid gloves to mock Trump in his first term, but they're redeeming themselves in my eyes. This is the first time I've looked forward to seeing an episode in over ten years.
Apparently they had both endings ready, pending the election results, but they didn't expect Trump to win. Then they had to just roll with it going forward. It's hard to make satire of something that already feels like a satire in real life.
Nah, that was a lame excuse. They've had no problem excoriating celebrities for doing minor dumb stuff, but they don't even try to really tear into neo Hitler? This feels like a correction of a past wrong.
What was the past wrong you are referring to? They spent entire seasons mocking Trump. I'm not sure that any of their satire targets got that many episodes dedicated to them.
It was treating him like he was just some goofball rather than an existential threat to the US. The same thing most other things making fun of him did/do.
