I think Democrats get pamphlets telling them what they can and can't be outraged about.
Perhaps -
And it isn't just matters of crime and punishment either - its everything.
Example :
Person X just won the lottery. An 'Evil Rethug' responds with 'good for them' and maybe jokes about the winner being willing to share.
A Democrat wants to know who Person X is, and makes up their mind based on race, sex, politics, education etc. Examples:
Person X is ;
A 'poor black woman' - 'good for her, she has lived a life of hardship and deserves it'
A 'rethug male' - ' I hope they tax the bejeesus out of him, and redistribute that ill gotten wealth to those who deserve it'
An 'uneducated redneck moran' - ' Stupid ass will probably drink himself to death on it - good. '
A 'fundie' - 'Great, he is gonna make the church even richer with that money. we need to end tax exemptions for churches now'
A 'liberal educator' - 'Awesome ! s/he can use that money to bring knowledge to stupid rednecks, and maybe setup a few scholarships for minorities'
Etc etc etc.
