Stockholm Syndrome?
Relative to the goings on involving the government of this country and related issues, hell yes, Americans are in denial both generally and specifically, in my opinion, and many others.
I don't care if you call it ... don't care, no guts, no brains, evil, ignorance, innocence, whatever...
It (denial) is the simplest, most direct means of a good explanation as to the prevailing mood of the country.
Enough said.
I have seen this topic alluded to and bandied about many times by many (online) in the last few years; but, again, in my own opinion, it is not discussed enough, nor has a decent solution to the problem been seriously considered.
Matter of fact, denial may also mean, in this case, "stressed out," but I don't see the shrinks jumping on this bandwagon at all!
Whatsamatter, not PC enough?
Think!

Confessions of a Birther Evangelist
American Thinker ^ | July 30, 2011 | William Lolli

I am an information technologist by trade and a Birther evangelist by proclivity. When discussing or debating the Birther issues with a newbie, in addition to a transfer education in law, the Constitution, the jurisprudencial system, and history, I frequently am a witness to the real-time acting out of the Kübler-Ross behavioral model of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
For the duration of the discussion, the political spectrum orientation of the listener doesn't seem to matter, since the topical reactions and counter-bullet points are always the same. The debates are never linear, but desultory.
...Most people mildly exposed to Birther issues are stuck in the denial stage. However, anger erupts once the message sinks in that Barack Obama's April 27, 2011 LFBC (long-form birth certificate) is forged, that multiple criminal acts have been perpetuated, and that both political parties and all branches of government are culpable.
