27. Conservation of Pleasure Theory
There's only a certain amount of pleasure to go around. And when anyone is having a better time than they are, they get upset. they hate any one else using up all the good times.

right wingers see pleasure as a zero-sum game. It's at someone else's expense. That's part of what they like about it.
