Apparently I didn't express my thoughts clearly.
Yes, I also have heard the right-wing made fun of, but not in a
systematic way that is the equivalent of right-wing talk radio, where the
information is unrelentingly one-sided and loaded with insults and
name-calling, and which *millions* of people listen to and then believe
they have the whole story.
Along with getting facts as presented by only one point of view, they're
also given a dose of hate to go with it, and taught that arguing is a
matter of throwing insults around rather than considering and discussing
different viewpoints.
I don't know of anything equivalent to that on the Democrats side. I'm
not saying there are no imperfections with the way Democrats do things,
but systematic hatred isn't one of those imperfections.
