Everyone in San Francisco got a Prius, and they were so smug about their Priuses that the air over San Francisco became covered in smug.
Global laming.”FARHAD MANJOO: And it really sort of was the start of what I think of as the troll-y right.
And that sentiment I think came from “South Park.” If you think about especially younger people on the right who kind of found fame online, people like Ben Shapiro or Steven Crowder, this YouTuber who takes the tone of “South Park,” I think, to a very extreme degree.
One thing I see often from right-wing celebrities or influencers like Donald Trump Jr. for example, is constantly tweeting “South Park” memes.
That was the joke that “South Park” was making in 2005, and now it’s the view of the right.
