92% of Americans Think Their Rights Are at Risk

According to a new Harris Poll/Purple Project survey released Monday, 92% of Americans believe their rights and freedoms are in danger, and part of the problem is political rhetoric, according to a polling expert.

"When you frame something as a threat, it creates a bit of a political response, and it creates division and encampments of special interest," John Gerzema, CEO of the Harris Poll said, reports USA Today.

The poll of 2,002 people nationwide, showed people fear most that their right to freedom of speech is most under siege:

10:04-I disagree , freedom of the press isn't under attack but being criticized for their lack of candor with all the fake news about Pres Trump.Pundits are confusing the freedom of the press as freedom from criticism, they are two separate issues. The press is still free to report as stated in the constitution but there is no clause in the constitution that prohibits criticism of the press! Mike Wallace of Fox news is wrong and doesn't grasp this concept

Northwest Woodsman: We have total freedom of speech! However, only if it agrees with the pedo Marxist democrat narrative.

No, freedom of expression is absolutely under attack. Not only that but the purpose of the press was to inform and that has been completely set aside for what we have now. What we have now is akin to Religion in the Dark Ages where the clergy was the one telling everyone that couldn't read Latin what the bible said and what to do. I don't need a reporter to tell me what to think. They need to STFU and tell me what happened, not how they feel about it.


Freedoms arent under attack, you are a f-ing idiot.

Uh, the SAME kids who lot and burns colleges and towns because someone is speaking thsat they DISAGREE with??

THOSE youngsters.

They have all bought into surveillance and dependency, and surrendered their rights (actually, they just want YOUR rights) in every aspect.

NOW, they are afraid of losing them?? Sounds like the German citizens in 1943-44.

With their crossing dressing, face painting, purple and green hair selves, I don't think they have much of a chance to get them back.
What are they going to do?? Try to scare their enemies with a scary tattoo and some really bad ass piercings???

Men with guns will take them back. Just like Jefferson said.

Keep cheering.

When you get attacked for wearing a red MAGA hat and law enforcement does nothing, freedom of expression is most certainly under attack
