Getting Their Outrage Fix

A lot of people match this pattern exactly:

1. They always, always, always vote for the same party.
2. The only question is in their own primary.
3. They watch the opposing party's convention - often more than a couple hours of it
4. ...going straight to the pundits who give them their talking points
5. ...so that they can fluff their feathers and How Dare They to the rest of their own echo chamber.
6. They are certain this makes some sort of difference, somewhere.

I find this crew to be deeply, abjectly pathetic.

The stupidity usually manifests in other areas of their lives, too. Once you see the pattern listed above, it becomes hard to miss.
