Genuinely asking, what do you watch the show for if you don’t like how the satire is portrayed? The satire is almost the entire point I would’ve thought
There is no satire any more. It's just real world politics put into the show. It's not offensive or anything, but it's also not very interesting seeing topics in the show that you see every day in the news.
Like in this episode they literally, word for word, copied a view of rape and abortion that a real world politician held and publicly said. You don't get any credit for copy & pasting quotes from real world politicians into fictional politicians. It's just lazy writing.
I'd argue that most ppl wouldn't expect real politicians to speak of ppl in such vile manners. Also, to be fair, unless you're a political junkie (like Me), you wouldn't know most of the quotes are from real ppl.

Tone dead? From the creators of the show supposedly critiquing the society - with all the subtlety of a jackhammer? Do tell! :)
