Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon described in 1973 in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors.

These people I'm talking about are not captivated or hostages. They are free to do whatever.

Maybe the candidate has "captured their imagination" but that too is not the same thing as Stockholm Syndrome. They were never hostages.

Sorry, I'm not talking about "Stockholm Syndrome"

If you want to deny what I've talked about happens, that's your prerogative. I would just disagree. I think what I am talking about does happen and we've seen it on this site. I'm not going to link to it because I don't want to embarrass a poster.
