Absolutely. Putting on my hypotheticals hat, part of it will be: - not being in the room where it happened, and presuming that the only impetus for change is evil, which feeds into our own deep-seated resistance to change. - not knowing which voices are being paid to speak (news media, social media, etc) and which voices are completely under-informed - compared with knowing which voices are definitely being paid to speak (government mouthpieces, propaganda) and conflating "don't know whether to trust" with the much simpler "don't trust". - knowing that sometimes Governments do good things for good reasons, but even then they often end up producing terrible unintended side-effects, or end up being polluted by less-than-wholesome agendas as a price of getting enacted. So yeah, I totally get that it's hard work overcoming all that to get to a point where you trust anything the government does. The real irony is that it's often government inaction that we should be more suspicious of - it's the status quo and anaemic half-arsed reforms that more often feed into the pockets of the powerful while giving a veneer of progress.
