ooking back, it’s all quite clear: Amidst all the continuity business about sentient ads and Member Berries, the two season-long storylines were once again preoccupied with aligning South Park as the naughty little boy perpetually tossing eggs at various strains of mainstream piety: So-called “political correctness,” safe-space schools, Whole Foods gentrification, etc all came in for their whacks, making it crystal clear that South Park was expecting their long-time humor target Hillary Clinton to become President and for the show’s humor to thus focus on 4 to 8 years joking at the expense of the same nominally-progressive incrementalism that had characterized the Obama era. True to form, they didn’t really bother much with Republican candidate Donald Trump, instead having Mr. Garrison operate as a Trump-like surrogate who (as many had joked about Trump) was actively trying to lose the election.
