Why do I need to trust the system when we could have verifiability? No one trusts the system in my country, which is what makes the people trust the results - they can see everything with their own eyes. What happened to make democrats turn into this authoritarian behaviour that condemns questioning of any kind? Let people insist the earth is flat, that the sun is revolving around the earth etc. You see the people believing in that stuff beneath you, so you should be able to convince them of the truth using experiments and whatnot if you're so great.
