Used to play a game with myself where if the headline didn't mention the political party I would guess if was a Democrat or Republican proposal.

"Does this hurt anyone?" Doesn't matter if they "deserve" to be hurt or anything else. "Will this hurt any group(s) of people?"

If yes, it's a GOP thing. Every. Time.

Now consider this headline:

"Man kills neighbor over political dispute."

Who would you assume did the killing, a liberal or a conservative, and what would you assume about the victim's politics?
