That's what I meant by an ideological trap. He didn't say anything that moved anyone from their positions or revealed any serious contradictions. He just kinda reinforced the bare minimum for anyone who wasn't a racist piece of shit.
That's most likely because his form of "south park" ideology was in offensive to anyone and sold tons of ad time.
I guess maybe we agree more than we disagree on this, but I think that the phrase "ideological trap" makes me think that he entrenched someone in their positions, when all he did was push someone away from Republicans. Not quite the same thing imo.

He just served as a relief valve for a lot of people. I see him as no different than Howard Beale in Network except even less provocative.
