Top 10 Things that Trigger Americans Most

We have a bunch of trigger list on this site focusing on particular group of people, I figured I will stick with a list of things that Trigger people in general at this moment 2016-2020 With this list I'm focusing on the USA
The Top Ten
Gun Control

There are many mass shootings, and the U.S. tops the list for having the most on their homeland. From school shootings to mass shootings, it will be the everyday norm for Americans to shoot each other.

Presidents and politicians have derailed against video games and entertainment by claiming that they are the source of violence, despite the fact that Hollywood and game developers are centered in the United States. True Americans will deny mass shootings because they want to protect the right to own a gun without conditions.

Two mass shootings occurred, with the second one happening less than 24 hours after the first. Good job, America! A whole new record.

Abortion

I don't see a problem with abortion.

Why would I want a young woman to die giving birth to an unwanted child?

You care more about stem cells than a human being.

God gives abortions when there are miscarriages - fact.

Whether you are pro-choice or pro-life, bringing up the abortion issue will cause a huge debate.

Global Warming

This is a real problem we need to stop. Do you really trust one person's judgment over a million people? Really! The ocean is rising, and everything is getting hotter. If we don't stop this, we're all going to die from it. That's the truth.

If we don't do anything about this right now, cities such as San Francisco and New York are going to be submerged by 2100.

Edit: The fact that these two cities being submerged by 2100 is only a possibility. We'll just have to wait and see.

It is real and a huge issue, regardless of what some random Republican speaker says. I'd rather trust scientists than politicians.

Diversity in Film

It's not that I have a problem with it, it's just that part of the time it's used for stereotypes, and other times it's just blatant pandering.

Whether it be stereotypes, not enough of a particular group, or too much of a particular group, there is no pleasing the audience.

Illegal Immigration
Donald Trump Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States.

Let's hope he loses the 2020 election because we knew he was going to be a terrible president before he got elected, and our predictions were right. He has been very corrupt during his presidency, especially in 2019. He implemented months-long bans on people from certain Muslim countries as well as North Korea. He didn't show respect whenever a tragic event such as a mass shooting happened and made stupid claims, such as windmill noises causing cancer.

Oh, and he also did some beneficial things for our country too. He wasn't that bad after all, since there have been presidents that were even worse than him, in my opinion, such as George W. Bush, Andrew Johnson, and Richard Nixon.

People Saying Something Was More of a Tragedy Than 9/11
The Media

Americans absolutely do not trust anything that is said by the media. It has gotten so bad that Americans just don't trust anything they hear unless it supports what they already believe.

It is so bad that things we know as facts, because they have already been proven, are now looked at skeptically, as if they need to be proven again. We just don't trust anything anymore.

It's true. The mainstream media can no longer be trusted. We have National Propaganda Radio, the Propaganda Broadcasting Service, Corruption News Network, Fraud News, and The New York Lies.

Listen to independent sources that aren't influenced by large corporations (like Disney or NBC) or the government. My list of alternative news sources may help you find some.

Homophobes
Taxes

The thing that has pissed off everyone since the beginning of the first civilization.

The Contenders
Racists

We have a lot of racist people coming out of the woodwork lately, whether it be people being proud of being Nazis or white nationalists. These groups of people hate being considered racist. They think it is racist to call them racist.

It is a weird time.

Most of these are worth getting upset over, and racism is no exception. Whether it's the far-right who hate minorities or social justice warriors who hate white people, it's a major issue.

Racist people are objectively stupid, cause problems, and if they died, I wouldn't care.

Transgendered People

Those that are born with the wrong gender identity, back in the day, people just kind of ignored them, like homosexuality. But now it is at the forefront, much like what happened with women's rights and racial rights.

We are right in the middle of a big change in human rights, and that always seems to cause controversy.

They are just human beings.

Can you see the Adam's apple of a transgender man? No.
Can you see the Adam's apple of a transgender woman? Yes.

Climate Change
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (born October 13th, 1989), also known by her initials AOC, is an American activist and politician. She served as the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district since 2019 as a member of the Democratic Party.

I don't agree with her, but she isn't that bad.

Liberals

Given how divisive politics is these days, people usually throw a tantrum when someone disagrees with them instead of having a calm discussion or even agreeing to disagree.

See also: Conservatives.

Different Opinions

Triggers hypersensitive people around the world.

Medical Bills

Can I just hit whoever decided to make bills in general?

Kanye West Ye (born Kanye Omari West; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and fashion designer. He is regarded as one of the most influential, as well as controversial, artists of the 21st century... read more

Sure does trigger everyone, to be honest. Although his comment on slavery was worthy of getting upset over.

Electoral College

It's not one big country. We have 50 separate states that have agreed to form a union. There are 50 separate state elections (+DC) every 4 years for president. The states' electoral votes are weighted by state population, so the bigger states do get more say in who gets elected. Whoever gets the most electoral votes from those is the duly elected president.

In a national popular vote, if the biggest few cities voted heavily enough for one candidate, they could overtake even the majority of the states. Let's say 3 or 4 cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia (+DC) voted 80% - 90% for one candidate, while the remaining 44 states voted for the other candidate at a 55% rate. Those few cities would dictate the winner forever.

Teen Pregnancy

I don't think this really triggers people in and of itself, unless you're the parent of the pregnant teen. People get triggered if the teen decides to abort the fetus. Otherwise, it just makes people sad.

Maybe because it's unhealthy and because teens aren't ready to raise a child yet.

Jake Paul Jake Joseph Paul (born January 17, 1997) is an American social media personality and professional boxer.

Throughout his career, Paul has become the subject of many controversies... read more

Take solace in the fact that influencers can't do whatever they want anymore and still make advertiser money. Companies have seen how influencers can affect their business and are determined not to be associated with bad publicity influencers.

Star Wars

Whether it be the fans that only love the original trilogy, those that hate seeing the main character being a female Jedi/SJW propaganda, or those who feel the original characters were disrespected, the new Star Wars movies will always trigger debates when mentioned. Some people hate the new movies for being a carbon copy of the original trilogy.

Don't forget the debates over whether Star Wars or Star Trek is better. And by "debates," I mean insult contests. (Source: I've been on the Internet since 1995. I have experience with this. And for the record, I love both franchises.)

The LGBT Community

As someone who is actually bisexual (recently discovered), I think I can say why.

Sure does trigger 50% of people on the Right. (Not all Right-wingers, just about half of them, really.)

Not everyone's like you. Accept it.

Disney's Live-Action Remakes

This is a nice addition. These live-action movies seem to piss people off, and really, there is no reason to be pissed about them.
