to caricature your opponent is one of the oldest and best tactics in psychological warfare and manipulation.
If the right can make the left look like communist pinko hippie drug-addicted fudge-packing ingrates, that is to their advantage.
If the left can make the right look like truther, birther, anti-UN, gun-toting racist KKK angry white male killers, that is to their advantage.
It's all a big game. Like playing the race card. It's a card. Cards are used in games.
