    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.

      Ok, except the US right literally has an out in the open plan for implementing a fascist dictatorship called project 2025. You can go read it yourself. This is not some small wing of the party. Basically every single Congressperson and senator is backing this.

      “And it’s our job to do that when we circumcise them!”

      The OP is a bit exaggerated, you’re right, but it not too far from the truth: Trump, the president that started a coup, is running for president stating only he can fix the problems the US has which would include removing all the leftist vermin (extremely fascist). White supremacists and nazis don’t make up a majority of his support, but most if not all of them do support him (bringing back nazis and bringing back “slavery” in the form of giving power to white supremacists). Trump likes to use dog whistle showing his support for them, while also not rebuking those same groups of people. The crazy things the far left wants to do is… help trans kids using procedures backed by science and supported by most major countries(and to clarify, by procedures I mean non-permanent hormone treatment, rather than permanent surgeries). We’re basically talking about the right trying to prop up a treasonous authoritarian, who utilizes the help of Nazis, white supremacists and religious zealots who want to take away women’s rights vs the left that is trying to help kids.

      The challenge is, especially in the US, the moderate side of the right arguments don’t seem to be made anywhere. All the party is pushing are the extreme views so it does appear to be exactly this in the media (which is where the majority of people are influenced by regardless of it’s right or not).

        If all they are pushing is the extreme views, perhaps it is because those have become their CORE views

      Except the right is actively pushing to make women property, working with nazis and nazi sympathizers, undermining the education system, undermining social services, undermining workers rights, ect.

      The (by comparison) left certainly doesn’t have clean hands, but they aren’t brainwashing or mutilating children.

      And it’s not like the “just want to stop killing babies”. If that were the case they would be supporting social services and social safety nets for families. They would show SOME kind of care for the children AFTER they’re born too.

      It isn’t biased, it’s just accurately describing reality.

      Then all you have to do is point at scientific evidence showing no children is mutilating their body, nor “babies are being murdered”. Right wingers reject empirical evidence. Your example holds no water at all and completely misrepresent what even the left advocates for. And keep in mind that abortion is even popular on both sides of the aisle.

      Bad faith framing of the issue by utilizing a false equivalency based on half-truths.

      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.

      God I hope this is a feeble attempt at sarcasm. Otherwise you likely live in Uganda or Indonesia, in which case, my condolences.
