South Park is one of the most popular animations of the last decades. Nothing escapes the creators' sarcastic approach, exploring controversial themes and characters season after season. From the political correctness embodied in the “Main PC” (politically correct director) to people like Caitlyn Jenner, the singer Barbra Streisand and even the figure of Mohammed have already been mocked in the series. The list is considerable, and you can check each of the figures explored in South Park organized by Venture. Well, the last seasons had Donald Trump and the American elections as a theme. AND Trey Parker e Matt stone, creators of the series, are finding it increasingly difficult to satirize what they call the “Trump era” in ABC News interview. 34686b

And not because of a problem of receptivity or anything else, but because of the proximity to reality. "It's complicated now 'cause satire has come true“, Parker said. "It's really hard to satirize and the last season of South Park, which ended a month and a half ago, we really tried to make fun of what was going on but we couldn't keep up with what was actually happening, which was way funnier than anything. that we invent. So we decided to kind of take a step back and let them do their own comedy and we do ours.“, He adds.
So much so that the creators had to remake the episode of Trump's victory. In this episode, Mr Garrison, who assumes the role of Trump, speaks “What did you do? You maniacs!“. In this final season, Mr Garrison (Trump) asks Caitlyn Jenner (Vice) what they would do if they won the election. None of them had a plan, and Garrison tries to “hand over” the elections to Hillary Clinton, unsuccessfully. He goes so far as to say, in a debate “if it was anyone else but her!“. In the very first episodes, images appear of what Trump would do to immigrants, if he won, not in a, let's say, "correct" way. And yet he manages to win the elections in the end.
