Republican Approval Ratings and Stockholm Syndrome Claim
Historian Jon Meacham suggests on MSNBC that the 85% approval rating for President Trump among Republicans can only be explained as "Stockholm Syndrome." He argues that the party has "sold its soul" for victory and is now trapped in a tragic embrace with the President. This analysis is criticized as a "Dimension B" perspective that fails to understand the actual motivations of the Republican base.
