It's almost like people don't want their government to invade countries on the other side of the world. Hmm.
It's kinda insane. Is it not good enough that we control almost an entire continent? We mostly get along with our neighbors, why do we have to fuck around with people on the other side of the planet?
Don't trust, verify!
Only the idiots trust the government today
Was the big decline after 2000 due to the 9/11/2001 world trade center attacks or the Iraq US war?
The spike is due to 9/11 the decline is due to the realization of the lie.
The uptrend started in the mid-90s
Only idiots trust government today.
Unless they are part of the inner party who brainwash the plebs
1984 is here
there was no option for "never" I wonder what that number would be like...lol
Surprised the number is even that high. Who are these 20% of idiots?
People working for government?
Wow, surprisingly high!
Trust oscillates between centralized and decentralized.
I assume the peaks are after elections? Brief hope followed by disappointment.
Never trust them
Could be mistaken for a voter turnout chart.
Progress!
