Do you trust the government?

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I do. I went to public schools. Ive gotten government/ state health benefits. i was on welfare for a couple months. ive gotten pell grants. teh government cares about you. they work for our safety and security. i may not agree with every action they take but i think they would know better than me and probably have their good reasons for it. sure i might think if i was in charge we'd do this or that but i dont want the responsibility. call me lazy lol, but what power to have to alter their actions anyway? i mean sure if it meant enough to me i might get involved. but thats a beauty of out government. our voices can be heard when we want it to be.

I trust our institutions and trust that many are in politics, or the public sector, because they want to help better the lives of others. That said, I don't trust Republican politicians. And while I usually like nuance and try not to speak in black and white terms, not in this case. I think there's a very defined line these days. I see them as ideologues and enemies of democracy.
