The revival of King of the Hill raises the question of whether Hank Hill would have supported Donald Trump. This inquiry reflects the changing nature of conservatism, moving from traditional Republican values to a more radical approach exemplified by characters like Dale Gribble. The upcoming new season has Hank and Peggy returning to Texas after years abroad, experiencing the cultural changes in their community while confronting modern societal challenges. The series aims to maintain its humor amidst the evolution of its characters and the social landscape.
The Trump-era discourse around King of the Hill's propane-loving protagonist indicated how the GOP's strongman turn has recontextualized American culture, shifting conservatism towards paranoia.
As Hank Hill and his characters return, they will navigate changes in the Texas landscape shaped by modern issues like the gig economy and the COVID pandemic.
