In a world where there is no accountability for the powerful, and in a country where this fact is blatantly advertised and bragged about by the powerful, there is no reason to trust.
This is my biggest concern about the way things have been going. Without reasonable laws and consequences for breaking them, society will basically just collapse into "might makes right." The rich and powerful have that might and use it openly to take more wealth and power for themselves leaving everyone else with less and less. Without a base level of financial stability for the average person, more and more people will grift and cheat and lie, trying to survive and support their loved ones.
We really need to come together and fight back but those in power know just the right things to say to keep us divided.
