In the November 12 episode of Fox’s Family Guy, titled “The D in Apartment 23,” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/63073-s16e06-the-d-in-apartment-23/?do=getLastComment) when Brian, the Griffin family dog, and Stewie visit the Quahog University Library, they see a student protest on campus so they stop by. Mocking Millennials perfectly, a student tells Brian that they have gathered to demand the university president be fired. His offense? He didn’t overreact when the word “weird” was discovered written on the transgender bathroom.

Also, a professor told his class to have a nice day and that warrants a charge of microaggression. “In our systemic rape culture, no day is a nice day.” Brian says, “If you don’t want to get fired, don’t become a teacher, right?” “You should tweet that. #FireEveryone,” said the student.

Brian rediscovers his love of tweeting and goes wild. “Kelly Ripa no-shows at work. Who does she think she is, A Republican senator? #G-O-P-U” and “Someone needs to tell Donald Trump it’s not fashionable to wear orange on your face after Labor Day.” Are two of his tweets. Republican bashing accomplished.

I am surprised MacFarlane has gone this long into the Trump administration without relying on the GOP bashing that was all too prevalent in the final two years of the Bush administration. If it's going to make a comeback, I'm not looking forward to it. It's been a pretty good season up to now.
That said, given how liberal MacFarlane is he did a good job at poking fun at the loony oversensitive PC culture Sunday. Whenever Brian said "I'm the pretentious liberal" or something to that effect, I give MacFarlane credit for putting that in there. He does make fun of himself sometimes.
