Myeah I don't like this.

S20 of SP despite its criticisms was still funny most of the time because it focused on making fun of how absolutely braindead the entire world is and how the fact america got so bad to the point hillary and trump ran was by itself a tragedy. And they didn't have trump directly in the show because they knew how much of an easy low brow thing it would be to just put trump and get all the leftists attention so they did their own take on him, which worked, especially after season 20.

These two new episodes are imo the first time South Park has betrayed itself. None of the plot points, jokes, moments or even basic writing are a result of the writers or matt and trey coming up with something funny to parody what is happening. They're literally just putting in leftist generic brainrot stuff to make fun of Trump in a way that is not at all South Park branded, it feels exactly how off tone and bad Rick and Morty felt after Justin was fired. IT doesn't feel like they're making fun of trump, or the hellhole situation america is in, it feels like they're just sucking leftist dick in the hope it will get them in good graces.

I think that after both the covid specials and the panderverse specials were pretty clearly going against leftist politics and their narratives. they were told that the only way to keep making the show was to make it more left leaning, and M and T don't want to stop making South Park so they decided to oblige from now.
