I think the issue is the United States government has no credibility anymore. Why would the American public trust the government about vaccines, when they spy illegally on the Trump Campaign and other American citizens.
Can you trust a Government who tries to remove an Elected President on false charges? Can you trust a government who let other people in office and position of power get away with breaking laws, while they lock up common people for breaking the same laws?
The problem is not false information on the internet, it is that we cannot trust our government to tell us the truth. The United States is a broken government…
You’re right. Govt and our legal system has forfeited credibility. We just Cat trust them.
How long can a government that no one trusts even last? We are finding out. Most of us used to consider the Oaths we took as youngsters an obligation to protect this country. Now we need to realize that for us to continue to take this Oath seriously we really need to let the “USA” go. We are at a political impasse and the country is failing at all the things at which a country cannot fail (I know, it’s awkward but prepositions and all). Borders just being an obvious and painful one. The current government has in reality become an impediment to doing things that need doing. We don’t need a revolution or a civil war. All we need to do is wait patiently for the libtrads to completely succeed in destroying the only thing that is restraining us from doing things that need to be done, like Singapore did in the 50s.
Look up the Tuskegee Syphillis Experiment if you have any doubt - and that began over 80 years ago.
