Could it be similar to Stockholm Syndrome?

“My kidnapper is really a wonderful person.”

Or battered wife syndrome?

“He beat me - but I provoked him.”

Except insert ‘greasy, sleazy, America-hating pol’ in place of ‘kidnapper’ or ‘wife-beater’.

But I agree. Voters must change in order for us to have sound government.

“Stockholm Syndrome”

Yep.
