If 17% of Americans trust the federal government, why do they not question politicians and the government more?

I'm pretty sure everyone now is just trying to coexist with the government and not cause they trust them, I realized today I can't run a business without a sales tax permit so now I had to put everything on hold, password protect my website and keep it locked out of public eye until I get this dumb permit all cause the government wants to be nosey on my income. Coexist 😐

Government is necessary with a population of 340 million people. I don't trust Conservatives, Republicans, or MAGA. I question why we allow them to keep sucking air and dragging down society in the 21st century.

We rather be right then happy. We have power of the people to vote in who ever represent our beliefs. We only believe in corrupt politicians so we vote in corrupt representatives.

They certainly do.
It's just that things have become so partisan.
Think of all the rampant TDS.
According to many on the left, Trump is worse than Mao, Stalin, or Hitler 🤷‍♂️
That's extreme
