    I don’t think South Park is right-wing propaganda, just vapid enlightened centrism.

    At worst, maybe they ripped into Bush-era conservatives enough that the alt-right found themselves in agreement, but got the entirely wrong takeaway from it.

    It’s just is one of those series where pretending to be stupid or establishing icons/memes will encourage other stupid people to interpret it however they want. Cartman acts like an evil Nazi but fat kid funny so Nazis funny and cool I guess.

      The entire purpose and joke of modern Cartman is that he is a shitty person that is now completely surrounded by shitty people. As a result, he no longer feels special now that everyone in America is a terminally online racist/sexist psycho.
