Americans are exceptionally anxious about their political system, according to new international polling from Gallup, a situation that sets the country apart from other rich and powerful nations.

About one-third of Americans rated politics and government as the top issue facing their nation, behind only Taiwan — which faces the prospect of an invasion from China — and on par with Slovenia, Spain and South Korea.

The United States also stands out for the anxiety its younger residents have over economic issues, with younger Americans more likely than young adults in many of the other 107 surveyed countries to say affordability and other pocketbook issues are worrying them

    Sit out the midterm elections. Let the fascists entrench themselves at the highest levels of govt. Sit out the presidential elections, fully knowing there is a fascist on the ticket not bound by convention, decorum, or restraint with previously proven tendencies to act out fascist agenda that he said he would enact. Let said fascist in office by inaction at the polls. Watch incredulously as he and previously elected fascists proceeds to do just that.

    Oh, blame stupid dems.
