Oh it absolutely pokes fun at liberals, and we love it! Despite what Tucker's told you, we absolutely know how to laugh at ourselves.

But you're missing the central premise of the show. Hank's old fashioned Conservative values are often challenged, and many times he has to question why he even holds those values in the first place. Think about the episode where he had to report a male coworker for sexual harrasment because it was making his workplace toxic, or when he had to confront his childhood trauma inflicted by his father that kept him from being able to use a gun properly, or when he had to stand by his wife as she taught sex ed at the school while conservative voices in the town tried to get the program shut down, or when Hank had to come to terms with the fact that Mr. Strickland, his boss and a man he admires greatly, does not run his business in order to provide good, stable employment to hardworking people and offer a valuable service to the community, but rather to squeeze every penny of profit he can from his customers because he's just a fatcat, greedy capitalist like the rest of them who wraps himself in good ol' fashion conservative values in order to sell a product.

Even through these conflicts though, the show never espouses the superiority of left or right wing ideology, but rather argues that the universal values of kindness, decency, and understanding always win the day.

And besides, it hella pokes fun at conservatives too.
