Why have the Majority Of Americans become so very much in favor of Feudalism?

17. Stockholm Syndrome is a great way to put it! But I wonder if it isn't simpler than that...

...Human beings like to feel in control. So they identify with those who seem to be in control (successful and with everything they want). And thus, as in Stockholm's syndrome, they identify with the criminal who has control, and view those trying to remove that person, the one in control, as the enemy. Even if the aim of removing that person is to actually restore control to everyone else.

It's perhaps less similar to religious faithful than to religious cults with that central, controlling leader who insists that the world outside is chaotic and dangerous, only the cult a safe haven. If you want to remain in that safe haven, you must do as he says. We see this most especially with Foxbots. Getting their news from nowhere else, they become like members of a religious cult, sure the world is chaotic and dangerous and only Faux knows how to keep them safe. It's been shown that if you get such a person to stop watching Fox for a while, watch some other news instead for a bit, then a week or so later show them Fox they'll see it as extreme rather than reasonable as they did before. You effectively have to deprogram them.
