To clarify, “Stockholm syndrome” was coined in regard to a woman who was held hostage by bank robbers in Sweden. When interviewed later, the woman recounted that neither the police nor the mayor seemed concerned with her safety, so she buddied up with the robbers to maximize her chances of survival.
Just to clarify, TN is barely a net contributor to the federal budget. They are a net contributor by $4 billion, NY state is a net contributor of $89 billion.

Millions of people around the country turned out to protest that, and the protests are ongoing. Also, this isn’t “one more brown guy,” he’s one of the most visible politicians in the country right now.
Also, if your rep is not on the list, call their office and express your appreciation that they voted to move forward with impeachment.
Alberta’s rep as the Texas of Canada seems more and more accurate every day.
Look up Jaime Loftus’ excellent podcast “My Year in MENSA” for an in-depth look at the organization.
I miss the old Onion where they had an occasional column written by “Christopher Walken” called “Walken in LA.”
I can’t even read this shit anymore. I’m almost more furious with the Democrats than the republicans at this point. Every single nominee should have been a knock-down, drag-out fight. We’d be better off with an empty cabinet than the array of lickspittles and lunatics in there now.

I think the logic is “babies are innocent, these people have a choice and they made the wrong one.”
My ex and I worked on a birth plan for our second child after her experience with our first was deeply unsatisfying. We discussed home birth but I insisted on a birthing center attached to a hospital in case something went sideways. She found an OB who listened to her, and we made clear what our birthing plan was, and that was respected by the medical staff. As it happened, the labor was smooth and relatively quick, and home birth would have been fine. I’m still glad we were at a facility where there would have been no lag between a problem arising and a doctor being able to address it.

There’s a second factor at work, which is that the institutions targeted by more “extreme” actions also don’t want those actions publicized.
Consider an action like the one depicted in “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” If they don’t have a perpetrator in cuffs, the oil company and the cops would not want to admit the action happened at all, because it makes them look vulnerable.
