Its almost like the worst people among us have discovered that in high-trust societies if you have no morals you can engage in any behavior you wish.
Challenge it and they escalate.
What’s the solution?
These folks will push until the dam breaks. When it does, all will be washed away by wrath and fury.
So instead Americans keep electing people who say "The government can't do anything right! Elect me and I'll prove it to you!"
Not exactly a mark of a high-trust society, whatever that means.
