Seems to be a somewhat common trend, cons saying they don’t trust the government.

          How dare they point out obviously incorrect statements with relevant citations? Cons seem to hate it when reality contradicts their ideology… and unfortunately far too many choose to abandon reality to resolve tension caused by this cognitive dissonance.

              The whole point of this thread is about which side is worse in terms of government trust. Whataboutisms don’t automatically apply here, especially because you didn’t actually support your claim with any examples, so I picked one.

              What counts as an “honest user” then? Because I don’t see how such a term could be anything other than subjective/arbitrary/unknowable. You’re never going to know somebody’s intentions based off of internet comments.

              I’m being civil, not spamming, etc. I’m following the rules.

                  I’m not ignorant of the reason, it’s because some people can’t handle dissenting opinions. That’s fine if that’s the case, but if so, politics usually isn’t a good space for such people to be in.

                  Do you have an answer for my question? What counts as an “honest user”?
