Really brave of them to do something so courageous and stunning

I watched South Park for almost 20 years, but stopped about a decade ago. Have the creators ever reconned with their role in normalizing and popularizing.. the current situation? What I mean is, SP is one of most prominent cultural examples of " both sides are equally bad, everyone and everything sucks", they've had great success with this schtick, ManBearPig, Turd Sandwich, etc. They did a lot of prep work for the current regime, after all, once you but into their mindset, MAGA is the only thing that makes sense.

So instead of Blame Canada they will sing Blame Brazil? When names collide everything start to lose meaning.

Also: “We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount -- a Skydance Capitulation.” (née 'Corporation') * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount_Skydance

Pretty clear there’s a lot of people here without a sense humour.

> We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount -- a Skydance Capitulation. Sick burn.

In order to rename the east coast to New America we first need to rename England to America - sorry Brits!

What difference does it make? They stopped being funny and original 10+ years ago
