How ‘South Park’ could help Democrats win back the young voters the party lost to Trump A cartoon built on skewering the powerful and self-righteous isn’t taking its foot off the pedal.

Satire won’t win elections on its own, but a media professor say the show’s mockery could help Democrats reach voters they’ve lost.
