Common sense?

Wonder what the term is for the fear of Democrats?

Ah, I believe they call that, "normal".

[theDentist]

How about a fear of Headlines? or Catalogues?

Perhaps of Moose Bites, Cheese and/or Sisters??

Wonder what the term is for the fear of Democrats?

It would not have "-phobia" in it, since such fear is perfectly rational and normal.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

LOL!

phobiphobia

[kidd]

While some may fear this:

Others may work very hard and pay lots of money to attain this

cankleanklephobia: fear you’re beginning to look like Hillary Clinton.

Hey I met a woman the other day that refused to go to lunch with us because she was afraid she’d throw up. She said, “What if I vomit? Everyone would be looking at me like I’m some kind of freak. What if I vomited right on the table? Would you want that?” I said no and asked her if she felt sick. She said no, that she felt fine. I talked with her for a while and it became apparent that she rarely leaves her house for fear that she’ll spontaneously vomit in public. She doesn’t vomit often, it’s just the “what if” that has her worried.

I’ve never heard of such. I wrote her off as a kook because that’s what she is, a kook.

bubbapuppaphobia: fear that Bill Clinton is going to allow your dog to get run over by a car.

[reagan_fanatic]

PICKLES!!!

[Jaysun]

Fears of Moose Bites, Cheese and/or Sisters wouldn’t qualify as those are clearly rational fears and real things to be afraid of. I mean, hell, cheese and moose bites? I just had a full body shiver.

[quark]

agoraphobia: fear of the “market place.” IOW, she doesn’t want to appear in public. It’s a real condition.

[dashing doofus]

No offense, but maybe she just didn’t want to go out to lunch with you. ;-)

[Jaysun]

She’s fixated on the vomiting thing. She’s afraid she’ll puke in public. Is that the same thing? I’ve never heard of it.

[Clemenza]

I fear any type of rodent. Other than that, I’m OK.
