Edelman’s Trust Barometer for 2022 revealed that the global level of trust in government and media is dropping. An annual online survey conducted in 28 countries and reaching over 36,000 respondents found that distrust in political institutions fell in 2021 across the world. Among the key findings of the report was the overall lower trust in world leaders and institutions around the world, with 67% of respondents saying they worry that journalists and reporters were “purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations.” The figures were 66% and 63% for government and business leaders, respectively.

mistrust in government is a must to keep them in check. those entering politics have their reasons, and mostly they are for personal gain.
All part of the DemonRat plan..
Democrats are trying to take over our republic and turn American into a socialist/communist disaster like Venezuela. The first democracy in Greece did not end that well.
What’s happening in the West is that people realize their “democracies” are no longer democracies. As their governments harass, abuse, and impoverish them citizens are beginning to realize that their governments are no longer listening to them. People rationally conclude that if their votes were really worth something then their government wouldn’t abuse them.
Dictatorial and abusive government behavior is where this crisis of confidence s coming from.
Globalists don’t want voters to matter.
We are a republic, not a democracy. But voting by The People is important here, as it is in many countries. And, clearly, honest elections have become very uncommon. The media lies. The academics lie. The experts lie. You can’t trust anyone. Then the Globalists steal the election and take over governments around the world. And if anyone says anything, the answer is: “Oh, you silly people and your conspiracy theories!”
We need one world communism. Let’s all bow before the new peace making one world leader of the only life sustaining planet.
Freedom is just another word for being selfish. All together now, FOR THE GREATER GOOD!
They are not “Democratic governments”. Not in America anyways. It’s a stolen government.
Aren’t the Marxists already in our midst and in our governments in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK hasn’t COVID tyranny settled that issue in your heart and mind?
the time has come to abolish the democrat plantation. The party of slavery, segregation, secession, Jim Crow, the KKK, Japanese internment camps and now communism doesnâÂÂt deserve any respect or a single vote.
Because so many “democratic” governments are making decisions by decree, acting as if only government appointed “experts” have the truth, denying transparency of either data or opinions, and, in league with others, controlling information so as to support government policy not to support the people’s right to decide democratically.
Come on, we got the best politicians that money can buy.
Because they want us all dead?
Just a guess.
Ummm..because they are not democratic? They are authoritarian regimes that favors some groups over others.
So-Called democratic governments
Like countries with the word “ democratic” in their national title
Often are the opposite of democratic
The term democracy is not used in our founding documents
Because they aren’t behaving as democratic governments… duh. It isn’t government of the people, by the people, and for the people when government mandates your decisions.
because they were too clueless and ignorant to distrust gov’t from the get go?
as by far the greatest American said:
“Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. It is a force, like fire: a dangerous servant and a terrible master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
—Geo. Washington
