South Park has always been Right Wing. Trey and Matt are self proclaimed "Libertarians". There's a significant overlap in the Venn Diagram of Joe Rogan bros and South Park fans. "They make fun of both sides bro" and yet some of their most enduring cultural contributions are downplaying climate change and dehumanizing trans people.

They may clutch their pearls about MAGA now, but their promotion of political apathy among Gen X and Millennial men is part of why we have MAGA.

    Aren't they former libertarians? I feel like I heard they realized they were idiots and changed, but I could be wrong.

    I think Man-Bear-Pig was more satire on people acting like Global Warming and Climate change was an imminent thing that was going to kill them in 10-20 years, treating a nebulous scientific concept into something impendingly dangerous like a car crash or wild animal.

    Manbearpig was saying climate change doesnt exist and Al Gore is an idiot. That was the only message. There was no both sides to that episode.

    12 years later they made an apology episode to say Gore was right all along.
