There are different America’s depending on where you live and who you are. Some are high trust and some are not. It has always been that way.

  The mere fact that pockets of America are high trust and others low trust, is obviously true. But the parent implies that how many and/or where those are has changed. So "It has always been away" doesn't answer the parent's concern, except if you meant to add "and always to the same degree". That would be astounding though. By what mechanism would this eternal (always) balance be achieved, while history marches on and culture changes?

    I think the change is people are realizing things are different for other people. Your still going to get treated differently for drunkenly making a scene in an upper class suburban neighborhood vs a white working class one. NYC is as corrupt as it always was. The subway worked for a short while in the 90s but it’s back to its average level of grunge and disrepair. I think the main problem is really that nothing has improved much since the 60s.
