American Values
Undermining Trust
If Joe Biden is worried about undermining trust in the government, he should look in the mirror. Polling shows that the public has been losing trust in government institutions for decades. And Biden has part of the government for decades!
Have the American people been engaged in a mass conspiracy for decades? Of course, not!
The whole theme of Ronald Reagan's presidency and a defining characteristic of the conservative philosophy is that government isn't the solution, government is the problem. But the left is trying to criminalize normal conservative beliefs.
Why is our trust in government falling? It's not a conspiracy. The radical socialists in Big Government have undermined trust all by themselves!
The government lied about Obamacare.
The government lied about weaponizing the IRS.
The government lied about COVID.
The government lied about Afghanistan.
The government lied about the border.
When the left put racist ideology in our schools and we found out, they called it a conspiracy theory. They said, "Critical race theory isn't in the schools."
They lied!
When we persisted in exposing the lie, they called out the FBI to intimidate concerned parents. That's not how free societies work. That's how totalitarian regimes operate. And it doesn't inspire trust.
