After receiving a ‘Freedom Award’ from Norman Lear’s left-wing organization People for the American Way Foundation, the pair apparently revealed their true political persuasion.
What does Trump have to do with being a Republican?
Or are people utterly lacking in integrity the new GOP standard?
The Tea Party movement wasn't about to make the mistake the Perot people made by splitting the conservative vote.
That's what gave us the Clintons.
Instead, we took the Republican Party from the elites and RINOs.
Now it's ours.
The blue-collar pro-American political forces that put Trump in the White House and forced never-Trumpers into early retirement have set the Republican Party's agenda.
Conservatives always did have the benefit of being the funniest when they lampooned somebody Being truthful is what did it. The left always put the emphasis on being nasty and hateful with comedy being secondary.
Every gay Republican in Hollywood has said coming out for Trump was far more difficult than coming out gay. Only the strong admit they voted for the Great Orange Cheeto.

Have to agree.
Some of the stuff in "Book of Mormon" is brutally on point.
"...I believe that in 1978 God changed his mind about Black people..."
There was a term coined up a few years, South Park Republican. I don't think it was started by the creators, probably started by fans. IIRC, a South Park Republican is:
center right
nationalism but a hint of libertarian
socially liberal, gay marriage, abortion, etc
This very clearly illustrates the difficulty of labeling people.
Trey and Matt are libertarians, so it’s not surprising that they would lean more Republican than Democrat. No need for smelling salts.
My experience with both Republicans and Democrats in the Mountain West is that members of both parties tend to lean more towards a libertarian point of view than members in other locales.
I remember attending a community meeting that was sponsored by a couple of the Democratic state reps from my area when I still lived in New Mexico where one of them asked if anyone in attendance cared about or had any objections to guns being allowed in state parks.
Everyone just shrugged.
Lots of issues that many on the right like to believe are true of ALL Democrats across the country are just not true of many Democrats in the Mountain West.
Similarly, many issues seemingly all important to Republicans elsewhere aren't so important here either.
It's why you have people like Cory Gardner (R) so adamantly opposed to Jeff Sessions' threats about marijuana.
It always good to remember that politics still really are local.
