A polarized halloween – 2 views, neither accurate

A Republican Halloween: “We give the first 1% of kids to our door all the candy and trust that they will give adequate shares to all of the other kids…”

Or is it a Democrat Halloween, “where you confiscate from kids with candy and redistribute it to the kids too lazy to trick or treat?”

These poles, which I found on the web, show how hard it is to have a meaningful conversation about politics. Yes, each side has a point but both sides overstate and exaggerate the situation making the other side defensive. So can we possibly have sensible dialogue? I’m getting nervous about Thanksgiving!
