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%
It’s weird reading this as a Black person. Neither me nor any Black person I know, from greatest generation to gen alpha, has ever trusted our government lol. White people must’ve had it REAL good until recently lol.
The best deal capitalism has ever or will ever give labor aristocrats. White boomer families, on one working class salary, moved out from cities to brand new suburban houses and raised 2.3 kids.
The sad part is their descendants would be just as pro-government if it still shared profits made off the exploitation and brutalization of non-white workers. Alas, all that juicy mass incarceration and slave labor money is going straight to the billionaire mayos. Hate to see it.
