‘South Park’ Creators Stun Hollywood Crowd: ‘We’re Republicans’
nope they are libertarians and have been for the longest time. Funny you thought this was news, it really isn't.

the proof it there, right in their work, try watching it and you will see their beliefs. Frankly they hate extremists who are intolerant of difference that includes a massive number Rs and Ls...

and to be completely clear, they are NOT Trumpers, they are libertarians and have publicly stated it for years and their work makes this clear to most anyone who actually watched a reasonable amount of their shows.

they are 100% not aligned with trumpism.

Exactly. It's only news if you haven't been paying attention.

Although I did think they identified more as Libertarians than Republicans. Whatever.

I think a lot of people are in that camp, and I do not find it shocking that South Park creators identify with that group.

God didn't change His mind. Men did. God never instituted the priesthood ban in the first place.

(I did enjoy the musical, though, despite the crude language and gestures. Saw it in London.)

At all?

Have you seen South Park?
YES, considering how sick and disgusting so many shows of South Park are, no doubt most Republicans don't want anything to do with welcoming the creators to the Republican Party.

So did they vote for Trump?
Agree, just as so many were afraid to come out regarding sexual abuse, out of fear of being ostracized.

I've been hearing that for years...never stopped me from watching (and enjoying) South Park. (I'm not a Republican.)

Nailed it. The most important poll I saw in 2016 was one where they asked people "Are you going to vote for Donald Trump?". Somewhere around 30% said "yes". Then they asked "Is your neighbor going to vote for Donald Trump?". Somewhere around 60% said "yes" to that one.

Huh. You'd think he would have gotten more votes than Hillary if that were really true.
