They clearly wanna have their cake and fart on it too by having Hank be out of the country for however many years so he can comment on all the modern stuff as someone seeing it for the first time, but also having him be aware of the modern culture when necessary and use modern day terminology

People also predicted they're gonna make him the "one-of-the-good-ones" type of conservative that comes around and starts #supporting all the modern things and and speaking out in favor of them to teach the viewer a lesson and so far it seems to be the direction they're going in

Mark my words, this show is gonna absolutely hyperfixate on everything culture war related, there won't be much fun Americana shenanigans, pretty much no nonpolitical plots like them taking down a tree or saving someone from a torndanko, and the show is going to go reeeeeeeally hardcore on the "leftwing vs rightwing" divide
A show like this simply can't exist in the modern world where everyone is so mindbroken by the culture war and obsessed with politics, it could exist when it was written at first because back then politics were just a part of life, seeing them in media wasn't so tiring and the writers wrote these characters out of love for the culture they represented while also taking the piss out of it in a friendly jab sorta way, now everyone's brains are flooded with this AIDS and they won't be able to go one episode without showing that they don't actually know who or what Hank is or how to write a cultural divide without it being political

Ok now you may proceed to create headcanons about which side of the culture war I'M on and then fight those headcanons
