I don't want to go further down a tangent here, but you also see how little Americans trust their government in the number of people reluctant to get vaccinated and the number of people who seriously believe the election was stolen. Both of those examples are mostly right leaning people. But this is also the same group that's most interested in gun rights. Is there similar distrust for the government on the left, if so how does it present? What irrational behaviours do democrats have because they distrust their government - or is distrust of the government mostly focused in the right of the political spectrum?
- Grakel 5y agoWanting to defund the police? Having this opinion and at the same time wanting to ban guns is truly puzzling.
- eloff 5y agoGood example! So mistrust of the government is probably universal in the US and just presents differently on the left and the right. > Having this opinion and at the same time wanting to ban guns is truly puzzling. It's irrational, don't try to apply logic to it. It's a simplistic emotional response.
- Grakel 5y agoThat's my view.
- _nicelaris_ 5y agoIt's not puzzling if you realize that the motivation is to subvert a society and assert control over it.
