On the anniversary of President Trump’s election, Comedy Central's South Park not-so-subtly suggests Trump voters were wrong. Wednesday night’s episode, titled “Doubling Down,” has two parallel storylines – a girl who refuses to break up with a boyfriend who treats her horribly, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Vice-President Mike Pence, and House Speaker Paul Ryan dealing with a sex-crazed, racist, moronic president while still insisting to the media that he’s “doing great.”

In the first storyline, Heidi continues to date the emotionally abusive Eric despite reproaches from her friends and family. Kyle speculates that the reason Heidi refuses to break up with Eric is that she’s embarrassed to admit that everyone was right and she shouldn’t have dated him in the first place. He tells her friends, “You can't keep saying, ‘We told you so,’ because if you make her feel dumb, she just doubles down and tries to prove to herself that it wasn't dumb.”

Meanwhile, in the White House storyline, the South Park writers portray Republican politicians in a horrifically abusive relationship with the president. When McConnell, Ryan, and Pence learn that the president raped to death a “worker with ties to Russia,” the president tells them to “put a positive spin on it.” The three reply, “It's getting pretty hard to keep defending you. Maybe it's time we put our foot down.” In response, the president locks them in the Oval Office and rapes them. Later, a beaten up Paul Ryan appears on the TV to talk about how he’s “sticking by his president 100%.”

The use of Trump rape jokes, which began in September 2015, “came to an increasingly disturbing conclusion last night,” says Kayla Cobb. She adds: “These increasingly disturbing rape jokes have gone from being merely cringe-worthy to insulting to both viewers and survivors of sexual assault. They’re also coming at an incredibly charged time.” ALSO: South Park brilliantly analyzes the relationship between Trump and his supporters.
