My memory is fuzzy, didn't they just make Mr Garrison the coolest he'd ever been before, at least from like the average white American guy's point of view? Were they ever actually being critical?
I assumed they were trying to play both sides since most trump fans wouldn't be able to tell it was satire, similar to Colbert's old show, and they could just say it's not their fault if their "message" was missed by most people that watched it.

Is this guy actually cool in the eyes of the average white American guy's point of view?
Yes, they write satire. They can't be responsible for Poe's Law.
If you do something once, and the impact of the thing you did is not what you expected or could have foreseen, that’s one thing.
If you do the thing every week for thirty years, that means you are at least considering it acceptable collateral damage.
we should've realized america had a serious brainrot problem like 15 years ago when the colbert report was around and conservative politicians would continue to take interviews with him
To me that was more Jon Stewart. Jon is 10x the savage Colbert is and absolutely eviscerated people he interviewed when they tried to go into bullshit mode.
I think that's giving too much credit to the man-bear-pig people.
You mean exactly how they do racist content, passing it off as satire but their demographic isn't that concerned with the winking.
