As someone who is not from the US I have to say: this "meme" is very biased and one sided. Most of you do not even understand how one sided it is. You are taking your moderate opinion and comparing it with the most extreme opinion of the other side. If the other side did this they would say:

One side just wants that they stop killing babies

The other side wants to brainwash children into mutilating their own bodies.

You're comparing a bad faith manipulation of policy descriptions to objectively stated goals of both sides

Killing babies and brainwashing children are known shock and scare rhetorical isms within the US, in the US the Left wants to institute healthcare, and the Right wants to, in brief, repeal the 20th century and a decent chunk of the 19th too.

You may be right but for Republicans that usually doesn't matter.
