An episode with Good Hank, and it seems he goes to an... Andrew Tate camp? And GH would be... 11? Whew.

"Hank and Bobby become competitors in a competition"
No shit, was this written by an AI?
Ep. 4 sounds like a less funny "Johnny Lawrence tries Uber" gag.

The show has always addressed culture war issues though... and if we're being honest 80% of politics is culture war.

I wonder if Moss recorded John Redcorn's lines for the final episode?
More importantly, are we getting AI Johnny Hardwick?

Toby Huss Khan's VA has been recast as Dale, he sounds fine if recent trailers are indicative of the final product.

Two episodes out of ten having culture war themed plot lines isn't bad. Not saying that the other eight episodes can't have political related content in them, but it doesn't seem at the moment that things will be super bad in this regard.
Though making "cultural appropriation" as one of them seems a little dated. I haven't witnessed that talked about in years.
They had an episode in the original series where Hank makes fun of soccer. It doesn't sound like a bad plot on the service: a lot of retirees get into referring games because it gives them something to do and provides them an easy way to make some extra income. Hank is probably going stir crazy as a retiree and decides to jump at the opportunity despite his hatred of the game. Sounds passable as a plot.
I am assuming he wouldn't be for the army given he would be well past the age where he could retire. He probably would get a new job after leaving the service.

He was working at Jack's barber shop considering he worked at Hottyz and Jack would definitely have sold the business to Bill... then COVID hit and the business went belly up.

We can do without them. I really disliked that whole plotline as Luanne was supposed to pull herself up from being poor white trash, not completely embrace it. And Tom Petty was only good in the one episode he was in when Kahn decided to become stupid yellow trash and demonstrating what white trash was.

The fact that Luanne's voice actor died 15 years ago probably has a lot to do with Luanne's absence.

Luanne didn't embrace being white trash. I feel like a lot of people misread her character storyline in the series. Luanne and Lucky might both be simpletons and rednecks, but they are not terrible human beings like her parents are. Her parents were both volatile criminals that gave their daughter an upbringing full of instability and trauma. Luanne and Lucky however are providing a stable, loving upbringing to their daughter. And they are doing it in a house down the street from stable family members that they are close to.
Lucky himself was shown that despite being a true redneck, he was a more honorable human being compared to his buddies. He was willing to straighten his life out, try to get educated even though he knew it wouldn't do much for him and mold himself into a more responsible human being under Hank's guidance. Peggy's birthday also shows his honorable side: he knows full well what Hank and Peggy did on the train, but he was happy for Peggy to finally have an enjoyable birthday party.
I think there is a message to Luanne and Lucky that it isn't about wealth or education that makes the difference with being perceived as trashy. It is whether or not you are at least a good and honest human being. Sure they are going to do things that might mortify someone like Peggy. But they achieved stability and created a loving family environment. That is what made the difference between them and Luanne's parents. Luanne doesn't need to become educated and have a successful career to overcome becoming trailer trash like her parents were. She did that with achieving stability and developing a non-malicious personality through her living with Peggy and Hank.

He'd hate it. The whole show was him having Old Man Moments about the mild proto-Clown World of the 90s-00s (?). Like, for example, there was an episode where he made an offhanded remark about the "pushy gal trying to get into the Citadel."
Fags in the thread didn't care for my last point, but I'll stick to my guns, Hank isn't a political character in the sense of party politics but he's an embodiment of rural, blue-collar-ish Red State America. You all can have whatever interpretation you want, but I feel like I know Hank in the everyman I live around and they're all Trump supporters to a man. Varying degrees of enthusiasm/media consumption, but they genuinely liked him as a personality. There's dipshits out here that think Trump is some kind of Evangelical pseudo-saint despite being the kind of fella that paid a pornstar to fuck him.

I'm think they'll actually make Dale the stand in Trump/QAnon supporter, and shift his role to a more villianous one. Hank will be the "good" conservative who learns how to embrace everything that shits on his ideals because "its called being a decent human being"

seems like you don't know him very well then. the guy that had a crisis over bush's weak handshake would be disgusted by the kind of shit trump says and does, and paying a porn star to fuck him is a large leap past having a weak handshake. it's possible 60 year old hank stopped giving a shit, but we don't know that yet and it would be better if we never find out because the spergery it would bring in would eclipse the spergery we're seeing now.

I remember that episode. I will say, I think that:
1) Hank would be put off by Trump's "immorality" in that old sense. But against what? Queen Girlboss? Queen Girlboss II?
2) I feel like as the culture has rotted so too has the oldsters' sense of morals too. This is a narrow thing, but just look at cussing. How it used to be real taboo in public and now you can have "Fuck this, fuck that" shirts everywhere. I feel like I've seen it (and contributed to it) in people in my own life. People are remarkably malleable. Now, on one hand, that could mean Hank becoming real open to transotherkin buggering little boys at drag queen story hour (where they reenact how the evil Texans killed the Mexicans in a double-cross at the Alamo) or whatever. But it could also mean being less offended by how many pussies Trump grabbed. I find the latter more plausible.
The handshake grab is a lot about masculinity. He's an old fogie (in a middle-aged fogie's body) that puts a ridiculous amount of stock in things like that. But he's also the sort of fella that'll joke to Bobby (half-seriously), "You'd better have a naked cheerleader under there [his bed]." I don't think Trump is that far outside of it.
I don't care if it ever comes up in the show. I've got low expectations for the sequel.
I CAN buy Hank primarying one of the cuck Republicans from the first time around.

A couple of stories in this show are about "breaking the cycle". Hank's doing that by trying to be a better parent than his father was and, in case of Luanne, ain't about overcoming being trailer trash but simply not becoming the actual trashy self that is her mother. That's the thing that Peggy can't see and rather wants to focus on a more superficial aspect. Sure, wanting her to go to college is a noble cause, but the real cause and goal should be that Luanne finds a stable family life.
At the end of the show, Luanne and Lucky could be living in an actual trailer and they'd still be good and loving parents and good people in general.
Hank is a smart man and he knows that he can't vote for other person than Trump even if he didn't like the man that much. And of course, he'd agree with all his beliefs although not the behaviour.
In fact, there is only a very small characters from Arlen that wouldn't support Trump. I know that the writers can do whatever they want, but I can't see Kahn voting for other candidate that ain't trump. Like, he would himself join ICE and chase illegals if he could.

It's the nature of small Texan cities. If there were lots of libtards around it'd be The Goode Family.
On one hand, if Kahn wasn't specifically from Laos, I could easily see him being a Democrat due to status faggotry. He looks down on everyone around him as rednecks (which they really aren't), strives socially, listens to NPR. In the same way Trump's vulgarity was catnip for otherwise strait-laced people because it was itself a middle finger to hated enemies, respectability speaks to educated cunts. I see it all the time in real life academia.
On the other hand, Kahn survived the Killing Fields in Laos (I think?), which makes him demographically a lot like the Cubans, I reckon.
I could see Peggy voting Democrat if not for that wives tend to adjust their political beliefs to match their husband.
For some reason I can LOL imagining Bobbeh being a Bernie bro and an Alt-Right Nick Fuentes supporter. In the same episode. That boy ain't right.

That was Cambodia under Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, Laos also had a communist revolution but it was significantly less violent and more importantly the head of state didn't order all people who wore glasses or could read killed. However, your point stands, Kahn fled communism so it's unlikely that he would support much of anything that sounded like Bolshevik gobbledy-gook, I'd imagine anyway.

He stayed in Laos for 2 extra years so he didn't have to go to Canada. Also fled the Home Owners Association in Orange County.
EDIT: If anything Khan would be disappointed in Connie because she is the type to believe in college communist nonsense. "That girl ain't right."
