    South Park Writers are liberals ?

    It's funny how South Park has basically called Obama a thief, criticized PC to the death literally making a character called PC that shows out that people's retrograde view, but they make a season calling out trump and are liberals. That's funny guys, I don't remember nobody calling them liberals when they criticized Obama.

    The episode was good, not bad, not awful, not excellent, but good.

    Sadly, the show's decline continues and may have finally run its course.

    The biggest problem with this season, and this episode in particular, is that it's quite obviously - and offensively - seeking to prescribe the politics of the writing staff onto its audience, yet it's doing so on the basis of a laughably false premise. Garrison is depicted as a completely unhinged narcissist who becomes obsessed with opinion polls, to the point that he's like a wild animal stalking the children of South Park in a parody of It. A family called 'The Whites' (how subtle) defend Garrison while everyone else in the town wants him gone. After he escapes, the season closes by saying that "it's up to the Whites" as to whether he continues in office.

    Not only is this a pathetically simplistic interpretation of the demographics in the last election - and never mind that America is around 70% white, so quite obviously whoever wins the presidency is going to have to do so with their approval - but it makes the case that Trump's base should abandon him in real life because of the FICTIONAL actions of President Garrison on the show. Garrison's run for the presidency was always supposed to be an exaggeration of Trump's not an actual reflection. That's why Garrison's campaign was full of threats to "f*** all the immigrants to death" and sexist comments that were not even remotely close to Trump's actual rallies. While President Trump is obviously not everyone's cup of tea, President Garrison is depicted as a vindictive and dangerous dictator, a stereotype which may appeal to the arrested development mindset of intellectually-juvenile social justice warriors, but has no foundation in truth. Had this been a joke then it would have been fine, but - as evidenced by the preachiness of the ending - Stone and Parker have apparently convinced themselves that their self-created fantasy is the truth, in much the same way as the news organisations deluded themselves during the election campaign, a lesson that the writing staff clearly didn't learn from as they also base Garrison's obsession with opinion polls (another complete invention of theirs) on the fact that the polls in the mainstream media have been negative - the same media outlets that got the polls completely wrong last year.

    What's most unsettling about this series is that South Park's writers, who used to be happy to mock everyone, are now falling for the same self-indulgent traps as other liberal institutions that are in fields supposed to be non-partisan. Every platform that has tried to shoehorn identity politics and relativist post-modernism into their product in recent years has seen the quality of their work deteriorate and their popularity disintegrate as a result. You would have thought, given the season of two years ago lampooning the intolerant PC hivemind of the programmed hard left, that Stone and Parker would have understood this and tried to avoid the same fate. Instead, they've allowed their hatred of Trump - which they've never even attempted to explain or justify - to dictate the direction of the show for the past two years, all without any context that's actually applicable to real life since it's based on facile nonsense, yet the creators clearly want to be transferable to the voting habits of its viewers.

    Unfortunately for them, they clearly didn't learn that trying to emotionally blackmail and intellectually demean your audience into voting a certain way isn't the best way to make them agree with you, especially when your 'arguments' are lies and distortions. In fact, the one genuinely funny and entertaining episode this year - Sons o' Witches - was crucified by the regressive left for daring to (gasp!) actually portray Garrison as a human being instead of a cartoonish demon, which sadly Stone and Parker seem to have submitted to, to the detriment of their work.

    And, unfortunately for us, we can probably look forward to another seven years of this drivel.

    Canada, The President, Ike the Mountie and The Groper. How can this not be a great episode? Love it.

    Decent episode, but not a good season finale

    This episode was a decent South Park episode, especially the first half of it has many jokes which I personally found amusing. However, it seems like Trey and Matt have failed once again in wrapping up a season, the second half of the episode felt rushed and there weren't as many jokes. The Heidi and Cartman plot line had some great episodes, but I don't think it ended up being worth it to drag it throughout the entire season, since the conclusion felt a bit predictable.

    Great finale to a mediocre season

    Loved this episode, and I'm not a "Trump-hater". Finally got some laughs from South Park.

    I'm really surprised to find so many negative opinions around here. People really missed the point with the Trump story arc. I mean, during the whole episode SP-Trump doesn't do anything remotely negative. People from South Park ASSUME that all their problems are because of SP-Trump. Isn't that a nice commentary in itself?

    And the way dramatic music is used each time SP-Trump is on-screen? The irony of it all... Calling it "Trump-bashing" is really crazy. People who watch South Park really have to be more thick-skinned.

    I really enjoyed how they used music in the episode, poking some fun at cliffhanger endings, nostalgia and cheap drama/thrills. (But i do hope that this "using bottom of the barrel pop-culture stuff ironically" theme will end with with this season - it's only funny in low dosage. I don't believe that it will change, but i do hope so...)

    Conclusion for Cartman romantic story is also natural and funny as hell, I've enjoyed it immensely.

    I hope that they will retain this level of quality next season, cause I was really bored with SP this year - really low ratio of cool ideas to filler content. Weak sauce.
