I used to give people this, but now I doubt everyone and everything. Anyone else feel this way? These crooked DC fricks have jaded Americans like me. There's no trust in government, and our government used to be what set America apart.

The government was always scummy and full of fricks

That's the thing

Certainly not all politicians, but as far as Trump, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because of the misery the left has put him through since day one. They can all GTH!

We're always being played. The left vs right thing is a smokescreen to hide the fact that there's a certain group that controls everything. If your eyes are open, you'll see it.

Everyone should listen to this clip from George Carlin. He spells it out perfectly in a very entertaining way.

It’s a Big Club and you ain’t in it.

You have no choice, you only have the illusion of choice.

The politicians, on both sides, are just puppets serving their owners. The owners that own this country and everything in it.

Can't trust government, can't trust the media.

Both sides have billionaires and groups lobbying them.

You ain’t going to win elections if you don’t play the games. Unless you completely remove money from it.

I go much farther than benefit of the doubt. If I don't know much about what the MSM is talking about, I immediately presume that the opposite of what they're saying is the truth.

Absolutely. Although, Trumps administration are making efforts to be more transparent, especially with the DOGE activities.

It's sad, because the Constitution and our form of government was always a uniting force for Americans who otherwise might not share anything else in common. It was our common "culture." Now, that's all but gone, and the old dependable trick of 'creating a common enemy' is nearly impossible because the real enemy of America is everywhere.

I've not given ANYONE the benefit of the doubt in probably 15 years. Not in my personal life, and I'm automatically even MORE skeptical of politicians. I mean FFS, I sat out the 2016 election because I thought Trump was full of shite but there was no way in hell I'd have voted for Hillary.

The mainstream establishment collective have given me no reason to feel anything but great distrust and betrayal.

The trick is keeping you believing that government is doing good works for you & to question anything is insurrctiony .

The veil has been removed and people see how corrupt things truly are. And have been.
