The American constitutional system is based on mistrust of government power.

That's why there are three co-equal branches. The idea was that no one branch would become too powerful.

The press was supposed to keep an eye on the whole thing.

My point is that government officials who demand that we trust them are ignoring the fact that our system is specifically not based on trust.

Agreed! Better late than never though eh? Covid was the event that properly alerted me to the fact that our crappy government wasn't just stupid, nor uniquely so. Oh no, it became so obvious that there was a coordinated global agenda behind it all and all the niggling questions that I'd carried in my mind for years suddenly lined up and became a lightbulb red pill moment all at once. Like I was half awake, and then suddenly a loud noise and bam! I see it all.
