Don't conflate trust with permitting the government to do certain things. We can continue to give government the authority to protect our rights, prosecute criminals, enforce contracts, and other baseline functions while keeping a sharp and skeptical eye on all of it.
The Press should be at the very fore of this "eye."
Our forefathers warned us against government and created a Constitution that reflected that. Government isn't good, it's necessary and what passes as government these days deserves nothing but disdain. Both sides have failed miserably in their jobs and to the oaths they have taken.
Well I for one thank God for us having a skeptical media that challenges everything the institutions say. Not.
What comes next when any level of trust in government is gone? I suspect that it's not a libertarian paradise but a strongman.
