According to Encyclopedia Brittanica, "Stockholm syndrome describes the psychological condition of a victim who identifies with and empathizes with their captor or abuser and their goals."
Yourbrain,health describes it like this: "Stockholm syndrome, also known as terror-bonding and trauma-bonding, is a condition that causes hostages and abuse victims to develop a psychological alliance with their captor or abuser while in captivity or while being abused."
I'm not joking. Do you think it is possible that all the things the DS has promoted - the violence of last summer, the constant MSM fear porn over coof, the CDC/Fauci constantly changing what they say people should do - was actually purposely designed to be traumatic and abusive of the American people, to trigger a "Stockholm Syndrome" response where the normies doggedly follow their abusers (DS, MSM, CDC etc) and adopt their goals in order to achieve some feeling of safety?
It is very hard for all of us to understand why our normie friends and family go into total vapor lock the minute we try to tell them about what is really going on. Their refusal to consider any other possibilities than what the MSM tells them is so adamant and unyielding, it seems they must be under some sort of psychological trauma or control.
I don't know, but I stunned one tonight. Old school liberal, super crunchy hippie earth mother type, nattering on about how the rhetoric against Biden was unfair blah, blah blah, well, I hardly get involved with liberals I know personally online, so I spoke up and said, no, he knew about it, explained his phone call with Ghani, and then I said, at this point, they're ALL dirty, BOTH sides. She was like, yeah, I don't agree with such and such, but that's pretty messed up. I think the tactic of saying both sides suck, let's clean it ALL out, snapped her out if whatever spell she was under. After all, she didn't actually like Biden to begin with, she just hated Trump. I effectively moved that mental block, I was shocked it worked, but a light bulb went off.. my first victory in the field. I didn't even mention Trump, because he's out of the picture now, and that was her big block.
