One of the most infamous answers was "climate change". Do you agree or do you think perhaps something else and why?

communism remains the number one threat to liberty in general. if given the proper foothold, communist doctrine demands that they inspire communist revolutions in other nations. if it wasn't for the economic and military might of the US, the world would have undoubtedly seen the inevitable rise of communism across the globe (worse than had already occurred). our adoption of globalist ideals does not help us in the fight against communism either.

The number one threat is our increasing inability to get along with each other, especially anyone who disagrees with our own viewpoint.

Politicians and stupid people. The why is self evident.

The single greatest threat is people. Their greed, zealotry, and lack of substainability have, are and will be found at the root all conflicts.

The broke-dick two-party system that tries to stuff 350 million people into 2 boxes, thereby dividing everyone.

Hands down: Our national debt. Money = Power. We have a spending problem. As long as we continue to allow politicians to buy votes with OUR money, it won't change. We need term limits in congress.

The greatest threat to America is that far too many influential people believe the pseudo-science of man-made climate change and are determined to destroy the economy to prevent it. The greatest existential threat is that We the People keep falling for crackpot politicians who create crisis like man-made climate change to become and remain incumbents.

Domestic disorder. Too many people going farther to each side of the spectrum. Eventually it's going to blow up into an armed disagreement between the two sides until either one side gives up, both sides are destroyed or the country just ends up split in two.

Feckless political leadership is the greatest existential threat to America..... My reason is that in politics there is no mission target. The political leadership has no desire to win. They want to blindfold the military and tell them "just try to hit the dart board and we will go from there..."

Civil unrest, corrupt government. Political divide between right and left cause a civil "cold war" through out the US. Meanwhile, China, Russia, and North Korea plot to take advantage of our weakened state by hitting us with a mass cyber attack that shuts down the power grids and wipes out all the banks. The US plunges into Second Civil War when the economy, and the government collapses.
