Out of 88 potential horrors this batch of 1,500+ Americans were asked to rank in regard to their personal level of fear in 2015, you’ll never guess what the number one thing people are most afraid of in this country…
Or perhaps you will.
Americans are more afraid of their own corrupt government than ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE including death, rape, murder, nuclear war, pandemics, terrorism, zombies, and even clowns.
What an amazingly sad statement on modern America and the times we are living in.
The survey can be found here.
Americans Deepest Fears
Are Americans today afraid of criminals with guns or a government that would seek to disarm its citizens?
The impositions of the system now rank higher among worry than hyped factors like terrorism – with distrust at very high levels among citizens and consumers alike. People are becoming disconnected from the wealth and prosperity they once knew, and instead are facing a collapsing system that wishes to loot from its populace as the ship goes down.
Dearly held rights in the American tradition are under threat today of vanishing, of being upended by a machine with secret designs.
Corporate schemers, conniving bankers and corrupt government insiders are driving perpetual wars, a damaged economy, disappearing jobs and diminishing chances of achieving the American dream.

Tyranny Abounds
So why is it that more Americans are afraid of govt. than whatever else? Simple: More Americans are COWARDS than ever before. The old “I’m oppressed, so should you be” meme. God forbid Americans actually fight their oppression!
How times have changed… an article posted not long ago listed spiders as the # 1 fear.
I’m afraid we’re gonna have to fire the government. Anyone got matches?
Survey outcomes are completely dependent upon the diversity of the sample participants. If all participants were white, conservatives, over 40, then yes they would all fear corrupt government. If they were 30 year old, liberal cubans they would fear white, conservative over 40 Americans. Survey results are always biased in one way or another.
But very few stand up to do anything about it.
The rest are drugged, watching TV.
Im only afraid that everyone will not fight back until after they ALL have run-out of food and previsions.
peoples like those shrinking paychecks that buy less crap. More than being free and wealthy anyways.
I figured that before I even clicked on the link. Are not the government suppose to fear us? What happened? Never mind……so disturbing.
I’m afraid of a badger being in my port a potty at 3.a.m. taking a dump.
The.. horror… oh the horror…
ROFLMAO
Me, too!!!
There are a whole lot of people in this country right now who are both frightened and very angry. I think many of them would have stopped talking and started taking back their freedom long ago if it weren’t for one huge factor: concern for their families. Having a wife and kids at home or elderly parents in one’s life undoubtedly prevents nearly all would-be defenders of liberty from taking serious risks.
Social conditioning is an important part of this equation. Incessant propaganda has led many or most Americans to believe that anyone who uses force in official service to the US government is a hero, especially if he is wounded or killed as a result. In contrast, anyone who attempts to use force in defense of the Bill of Rights against its domestic enemies is dismissed by most Americans as a kook and a criminal.
Consequently, in the current situation we see a whole lot of people who are furious and want to do something, but not until a critical mass of other angry citizens get the ball rolling first, lessening the individual risk involved and the potential shame of any loved ones that one might leave behind.
Accurate assessment, BMF. Add the ideology of “my govt would never do anything like that to me”, despite the fact everything inside their head tells them otherwise, but that is just a result of the programming and conditioning. They just do NOT want to believe the reality they are in. They won’t need to come to reality, it will come to them. Well said.
