South Park’s latest episode went nuclear on MAGA, but that’s all the more reason to love it.
The second episode of Season 27 again poked fun at President Trump, ICE, Vice President JD Vance, Kristi Noem, and others. It was hysterical and embraced one of the best qualities of good comedy: Sparing no one. (Subscribe to MR. RIGHT, a free weekly newsletter about modern masculinity)
Despite being a target of satire, Vance had a good response after he was depicted as Tattoo from the classic show “Fantasy Island”:

As did Charlie Kirk, who was also mocked:

The episode portrayed Noem as a botox bimbo whose face would slid off her and slither around on the ground, and had an extended bit of Noem’s character shooting puppies every time she saw one.

Noem criticized South Park, telling Glenn Beck, “It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look.”
“It’s always the liberals and the extremists who do that,” she said. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”
A huge difference between the right and the left is that, generally, the right has a better sense of humor than the left. I emphasize generally because sometimes, the right is as sensitive as the left whenever one of their own is mocked or criticized.
And for the most part, the right’s response to the second episode seemed to be embracing of the humor, rather than lashing out. After the first episode in which Trump was depicted in bed with Satan, the White House was furious. But they have since remained quiet, and probably for the best.
South Park may not be your thing. But it’s good for conservatives to always support free speech, essential to comedy, and to keep differentiating themselves from humorless woke scolds who cannot take a joke.
