Top 10 Things that Trigger Americans Most

We have a bunch of trigger lists on this site focusing on particular groups of people. I figured I would 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
  1. 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.

  2. Donald Trump

    Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th and 47th President of the United States.

    Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Donald J. Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the... read more

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. Titanic (1997)

  5. People Saying Something Was More of a Tragedy Than 9/11

  6. Taxes

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

  7. 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.

  8. Vietnam

  9. Gay People

  10. Different Opinions

    Triggers hypersensitive people around the world.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    McDonald's

  13. ?

    Climate Change

  14. The Contenders
  15. Medical Bills

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

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. Michael Jackson

    Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009) was an American singer, dancer, and songwriter. He passed away from cardiac arrest caused by acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication, which was ruled a homicide. Jackson is widely regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures... read more

  23. The Olive Garden

  24. 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.

  25. Homophobes

  26. 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.

  27. Religion

  28. Mexicans

  29. Twilight Saga
