I only know how to answer this question by examples that I've been exposed to, so please bear with the explanation. I've asked many this question, and only one thing has stayed the same in all answers, but some of them are intriguing.

Americans fear the unknown and undefined things they don't understand; but fail to recognize the ignorance. But I will come back to that. Every person I have spoken to has said they fear the Government of the United States and or the States - IE: America fears its own government as a whole. The only exception to this answer are members of government. In fact those members of government usually attempt to make you fear other parts of that government for the safety that 'they' promise.

You will find some that say they fear "Socialism" in the USA, but when pressed they cannot tell you what "Socialism" actually is, the same is true for any one of a few hundred "code words" that they have been taught to fear, but don't really know what these things mean. In these cases it is common for these persons to lash out in anger over their own ignorance, and or, to discount historical terms in favor of modernized views that are not really defining (at best).
