Normally there are humorous elements to this series. But not this episode. It was little more than pandering to the left (and Trump haters, or course, of which there are many). Yet, they did a good job of covering up Candace's weight problem. The series does take a point of view, and that must be respected. However, there will never be the series opposite. Hollywood is incapable of producing a series (or even an episode) that has a conservative point of view.
