Do you trust your government and do you have full trust in your government are two completely different questions.

Any government which has some sort of democratic means of election, and so legislation, is not a single entity which can be put in a box and labeled "trustworthy" or "crooked."

I trust that, despite filibustering, attempts to make it harder for people who aren't white and old to vote, and messed up redistricting,

Over time the will of the people is represented correctly through this type of government, and over time the will of the people curves toward a more just and better society.

So yes, I trust government.

And yes I understand that human nature necessitates that some in government will at times act "untrustworthy" and against the better will of the people.

In response to the debate title, I have some trust in my government, I still live here because I don't feel I'm being deceived completely.

In response to the debate description, No. I do not have full trust in my government. I don't even have full trust in my best friend. I definitely think the government does some things that they don't tell us about, so with those thoughts in mind, I can not ever have full trust in it.

Side: No

I trust the government about as much as I trust a homeless person to give me good advice on buying a house.

Not really. Barely do I. Politics and business structure are corrupt. I dont trust a business built for corruption.

Hell no. They have their own agenda, and we're the last priority as far as well-being
