The bit that pokes fun at progs is that the evil mega corp gets away with being an evil mega corp by pandering to progs. It's not very deep, since it doesn't attack actual prog values, and it doesn't explicitly go into how progs are retarded, it's just an implied part of the world.
I noticed this too. They make fun of Woke capital pandering, but Woke ideology default "good" position in the show.
Contrast that with how anything having to do with conservatism, patriotism, or Christianity is portrayed as some combination of ignorant, venal, hypocritical, and sinister.
In season 3, they're really hammering the "Homelander is Trump and his fans are MAGA idiots" metaphor with the subtlety of a pile driver.
Despite that, the show has kept my interest. I guess it's the characters.
Yeah, the few nods they make to the other side seem like they are just accidents, like the writers forgot the point they were making. For instance, at one point they have the media refer to stuff that Starlight (Erin Moriarty's character) is saying as "unfounded conspiracy theories", when the audience knows it's true and besides, Starlight is one of the few "good" characters on the show.
