If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is gay, he or she quietly leads their life. If a Democrat is gay, he or she demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn’t like a talk-show host, he switches channels. Democrats demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it or may choose a job that provides it. A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A Democrat will delete it because he is offended. (H/T Young Conservatives)
Of course, these comparisons are meant to be humorous, and jokes, by definition, usually simplify and generalize to make their point.
But given the polarization today between those on the left and those on the right of the political spectrum, this joke is astonishingly accurate.

As the Brits would say, spot on.

This quick summary is amazingly accurate.
