Should We Trust Those in Charge?

I don’t understand blind trust of the media or the government.

Have you met human beings? We lie. We cheat. We steal. We lust. We murder. We hate. We divide.

But somehow if you put a whole group of flawed human beings who are proven to be flawed, they should just be trusted?

One example: media and doctors lied about cigarettes several decades ago saying they were good for you. You don’t think they still try to do that?

When Donald Trump was elected four years ago it was all Russian collusion and there’s no way he could have won and whatnot. Yet this year, fraud is not possible? Yet the articles alleging smaller elections in states had voter fraud that doesn’t muddy up how much they can be trusted?

I understand the benefit of the doubt, like I don’t assume every customer that comes into work is stealing or lying to me about something.

I just don’t understand trusting the government and media and “experts” when we don’t truly know their motives...
