The Sheidim were in a PANic
Sheidim: with this political correctness, we have no more fun. There is no one left to HATE! EG No More:
1. Racial Hatred
2. Ethnic Hatred
3. Gender Hatred
We can no longer make fun of the handicapped and the disadvantaged, those who look different, the obese, etc. All are now vigilantly protected! We're almost completely out of the HATE business!
Satan: Not to Worry. It's still politically correct to hate -
1. Traditionalists
2. The wealthy, the privileged, the "1%"
3. The Religious, especially the right wing Religious
4. The Politically Conservative, Republicans in the USA - especially Sarah Palin, Dick Cheny, George W. Bush - the Tories in the UK, the PC's In Canada, etc.
Thank the Devil - there are plenty of people left to bash and to demonize!

Cute, but missing the point.
What we call "political correctness" is the perception or imposition of an oppression/victim paradigm, and not unlike other "isms", the spectrum of thought starts with concern for “the oppressed” and ends with outright demonization of “the oppressors”. For example, the ultimate disparagement, currently, is to call a person “racist” etc. or, as a whole country, “aparthied”.
When we read the Kinot each year, going through all the various exiles, we focus on the destruction. It would be interesting to catalogue the zeitgiest of each era. For example, the current intensity of labelling Israel as "oppressor", and, likewise, religious dictates such as circumcision and ritual slaughter labeleld as oppressing the weak. I believe that doing so would answer the question "how did the whole of Germany stand by?"
