Tbh, an episode like "A Taste of Freedom" seems unthinkable now.

I just refreshed with a summary and don't see why it would be unthinkable now.

This overly patriotic "freedom of speech", "earth is the free-est planet ever" and "I'm conservative but I will fight tooth and nail for his freedom of speech" is definitely not how american conservatives today are. They are more about banning books, over-regulating everything including your genitals and "lol seethe and cope librul".
