I don't think it'd take too much effort to see this going on, but at the same time, it does illustrate the dichotomy between the modern left and right wings in the US. The left is about compassion, education and supporting everyday people; the right seems to want servitude, violence and (mainly due to anti-abortion and anti-LGBT laws) thinly veiled theocracy.
