To be fair, this was season 1-4 hank who was more openly conservative and angrier. I actually kind of prefer this hank and all the versions of the characters from those early seasons (especially dale, i hate how fucking weird they made him sometimes) even though I also like what they turned into for the middle seasons.

But hank definitely started having more "maybe the change isn't so bad" moments later on and that's unfortunately the hank a lot of people resonate with. Even though there were still just as many episodes that ended with "no, this is objectively retarded and i'm putting my foot down".

I agree hank would hate clown world, I was more pondering whether or not he would hate it enough to start compromising his principles of character (as so many of us have) in order to fight it, ie: vote for trump. I do think he would vote for trump even though he wouldn't like him much, i see trump as the right man in the right place at the right time, but he is a bit of a fuckhead. In a more sane america we shouldn't even be considering him for president, but a sane world we do not live in.

This is key really:

Hank will vote him and approve of him, but i don't see him wearing maga hats or shizoposting on twitter.

It's why i'm nervous about the new seasons, i love mike judge and trust him to do the right thing but he has a tightrope to walk. If hank goes to easy on clown world it will be seen as a surrender ceremony, but if the show goes too hard it might ruin it for a lot of people. The best option might be to largely avoid it and focus on the characters and small town vibe, which was always the show's strength.

KOTH had such an amazing light touch of seeing modern issues in a different way than was being talked about and coming to a conclusion that even if you don't agree with you see the sanity in.

People can say what they will of Reagan, but I was listening to speeches and jokes from him once and felt blue that we had all (EVERYONE) fell into such trashiness since.

That leaked months ago alongside some other storyboards. I assume it's from this season but we'll see.

A bit late, yet it’s not this season going by the episode descriptions. The Khans are separating in 14x8, and this scene happened a while after it.
 
Im not sure if its been mentioned and im not familiar with most of the original writers of king of the hill. But two of them are credited being writers on Velma. A lot of them are also credited with working on Rick and morty. Im also worried by an article about how they recasted people because of the documentary about apu.

I found out that Khan isn't the only character to be recast. The Wassanasongs and Joseph got recast.
I assumed Toby Huss willingly stepped down because they didn't mention any other recastings but that sounds like it was mandated, which makes sense considering what company owns Hulu.
Despite that I'm fairly optimistic about the reboot. The original showrunners are overseeing it and virtually all of the cast members that are still alive came back and seem to be enjoying working on it. Plus, both Beavis and Butthead reboots were on par with the original show in terms of quality, so Mike Judge has a good track record.

Recasting Ted was especially dumb since the man is spiritually whiter than an all vanilla banana split with nothing but whipped cream and this is brought up in virtually every episode he has a prominent role in, notably the banana episode.
