I mean fair enough but with that framework they’d only change their opinion of these places when their ideological leaders tell them to, which I don’t think has happened yet.
They think they don’t, but many/most of them worship the neoliberal political establishment in a weird abusive relationship kind of way. Listen to your average high-information liberal talk about Gaza dissent in the 2024 election and you’ll see what I mean. Around here saying that the Democrats needed to change course or they’d lose was enough to get you branded as a Russian troll.

Stockholm syndrome?
