I checked the story again. It uses the word "tremulous", or rather the anonymous translation someone pirated online does. The version in my hardcopy just says "trembling" which is an actual word usable by peoples.
Bobby, may I share something with you? A vision I had in my sleep last night—as distinguished from a dream, which is a mere sorting and cataloguing of the day's events by the subconscious. This was a vision: fresh and clear as a mountain stream, the mind revealing itself to itself. In my vision I was on the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion. There seemed to emanate from it a light, from within this gleaming, radiant marble. I had known this place. I had, in fact, been born and raised there, and this was my first return—a reunion with the deepest wellsprings of my being. Wandering about, I noticed happily that the house had been immaculately maintained. There had been added a number of additional rooms, but in a way that blended so seamlessly with the original construction, one would never detect any difference. Returning to the house's grand foyer, there came a knock at the door. My son was standing there. He was happy and carefree, clearly living a life of deep harmony and joy. We embraced—a warm and loving embrace, nothing withheld. We were, in this moment, one. My vision ended. I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence in you and your future. That was my vision. It was you.
There are two paths. One leads to the Forest of Truth, the other to certain death. The paths are guarded by soldiers three: One who always tells the truth, one who always lies, and one who is the world's thirstiest lesbian.

i interpret 'South Park libertarian' as shorthand for 'has similar views to Parker and Stone' rather than 'is obnoxiously obsessed with South Park'
it's a stereotype either way i guess. just one i find less objectionable because man, uncritical acceptance of South Park's politics bothers me
although if someone kept going 'South Park libertarians need to die' and also something about them being obsessed with some random thing like PS1 games, then i would have trouble relating to that attitude and would find it concerning

This is going to be confusing.

it seems to me like one of those things that just kind of exists in popular culture, hovering about the mainstream
it feels sort of like having a stereotype of people who watch Friends
all these legions of Bake-Off fans everywhere, what a bunch of wankers
I mean, there are people who self identify as South Park conservatives, or at least there were in the mid 2000s
