More Americans are afraid of clowns than of climate change, terrorism, and dying.

Two polls which surveyed Americans also found that the greatest fear among Americans is corrupt government.

The polls were conducted by Chapman University and Vox / Morning Consult. […]

According to Vox, 61 per cent of Americans said that they were fearful of corrupt government.

Fear of clowns was second most prevalent, with 42 percent saying that they were afraid of them.

Terrorism came in third place, with just 41 percent saying that they were frightened by the prospect of an attack.

DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? (Les Miserables)

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Bodes well for a Trump win that Americans—rightly—fear a corrupt government more than anything else.

"Two polls which surveyed Americans also found that the greatest fear among Americans is corrupt government."

I doubt those polls, considering Barack Obama was elected for a second time and Hillary Clinton is actually a candidate for the office of President.

If the biggest fear is corrupt government, then why is Hillary about to win in a landslide like I see in the news?/s
They cant even keep the lies straight.

As evidence mounts that the democrats are engaged in widespread ballot-switching, the American fear of corrupt government is proving well-founded.

This *assclown obama has degraded America to Third-World status.

Democrat voters are weird. I’ve known full blown racists in the south my whole life. And they’d vote for LBJ, Bill Clinton and George Wallace. It doesn’t matter what their candidate stands for or what he or she did. As long as it’s a democrat, they’ll vote for them.

“Bodes well...”

EXCEPT that 5/6 of that 61% are ready to vote for the most vile, most corrupt person who has ever run for the presidency.

I think is a serious negative indicator of just how stupid the American electorate really is. People being this stupid does not bode well for the US.

1st world transition to 3rd world status was the objective of the UN long before O’dummy came into office.

Americans know that their elected officers and appointed officials, and former officers are selling out the country to the money interests of the world. America needs a new kind of defense department. Call it the Department of Financial Defense!

Fear of clowns is an infantile reaction to a primitive archetype. Not the response of a normal mature human being. Quite typical, however, of three year olds and "progressive" snowflakes..

Scared of dying? Isn’t that the same thing as being scared of living? Because to be alive is to die, don’t you know.

It’s all one big giant paradox brought upon us by our meat minds, don’t you know. Just chill.

Im more afraid of my own local neighborhood. They all have names like Smith and Brown and Johnson. People are murdered everyday in the US. Nobody thinks about it. I used to enjoy going to the airport to pick up relatives. Now 15 years on the airport is Fort Knox. I’m 99.9 percent more likely to be shot, stabbed or in some cases beheaded by my own countrymen if I walk down Martin Luther K Blvd at night rather than being done in the same way from “terrorists”.

Hillary's father, Hugh Rodham, Sr., was reportedly a fixer and bagman for banks and insurance companies, here and overseas.

He did own a curtain company and Hillary had the mentality of a mob boss from early on.

Well while the prospect of a demented clown attacking you is very rare, it does exist (John Wayne Gacy, juggalos with axes,...).

“Odd” how personal and federal debt isn’t in this list.

I bet they committed election fraud to get obama elected a second time. Not that Romney was such a prize , but, just sayin.

Can you blame them? Americans have been dumbed down to have no more foresight than whether to eat McDonalds or Taco Bell before they rush home to watch the Kardashians. We're an obese, stupid, lazy culture.

Freepers are the exception, not the rule. Most Americans are clueless as to what's been happening in the world for the last sixty years.
