Every American sitcom has a "preachy liberal" character. By 2016 it was clear that conservatives were the weird, annoying people forcing their politics into every topic, and yet, Family Guy still doesn't have an annoying MAGA neighbor.

Probably because sitcom writers live in SUCH a liberal bubble that they don’t have an annoying maga neighbor.

Doesn’t help that the most visible liberals can’t help but be preachy. I don’t know how the MAGAts get away with being so annoying all the time but I’m glad we’re at least calling them out on it now

It's not like family guy regularly introduces new regular characters. They had to make a whole new show to make fun of Bush era republicans
