The Moral Decay of the American State The numbers are stark and undeniable — a damning indictment of the moral and institutional rot at the heart of the American political system. In 1958, a full 73% of Americans expressed trust in their government to “do what’s right”. Today, that figure has plummeted to a mere 20%
Yeah they literally will all just say something like “of course they say that, if you speak against the government in China they murder you”. Just totally made up shit but they all seem to believe it
Then you point out how the US government murders more than 500x the people of the Chinese government per year, and how we’re finding mass graves around the US outside prisons like in Mississippi. And then they’ll just turn their brains off and revert to their regularly scheduled programming and you sigh.
