My memory is fuzzy, didn't they just make Mr Garrison the coolest he'd ever been before, at least from like the average white American guy's point of view? Were they ever actually being critical?

I assumed they were trying to play both sides since most trump fans wouldn't be able to tell it was satire, similar to Colbert's old show, and they could just say it's not their fault if their "message" was missed by most people that watched it.

[conservatives] wouldn't be able to tell it was satire, similar to Colbert's old show

we should've realized america had a serious brainrot problem like 15 years ago when the colbert report was around and conservative politicians would continue to take interviews with him

To me that was more Jon Stewart. Jon is 10x the savage Colbert is and absolutely eviscerated people he interviewed when they tried to go into bullshit mode.
