I don't think that people don't care about it, but I'm also of the opinion that it ultimately won't matter. How many "I wanna see Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!" theaters do we need to realize that it's not going to make a difference?

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with South Park and "culture war" though.

The thing is, basically all of those theaters were in the realm of litigation, which I agree will never get Trump. What sets this apart aren't the legal consequences for depraved acts that he will 99.999% never face, but the destruction that it has done to his base of support, which you can see progressing every single day. All the ""independent"" media that backs him has been in a frenzy wrestling with their audience who won't accept things like Kirk saying "I'm choosing to trust my friends in the government".

lathe-of-heaven MAGA completely falls apart because even they can't bring themselves to believe that Charlie Kirk has friends

I believe South Park mocked Trump over his Epstein connections in the recent episode.
