The people that want to trust government are the people that are least trustworthy. They project their own lack of character on others and depend on authority to fix it.

I think there are some people who believe if authority and others let it slide, then it's not immoral.
Seems like fractional reserve character or morality…an abstraction of the conscience. These are acts of devotion to the state, devotion to the creature, and rejection of the Creator.
I think it's not those who *want* to trust government (I'd really like to trust our leaders) but those who think the hierarchy of trust ought to be widest authority at the highest level of trust, as if individuals in lower authority are inherently less trustworthy than those in higher authority.
The real issue is that responsibility, and thus loyalty, is inversely proportional to proximity, and your neighbor can be more likely trusted with your wellbeing than some strangers in an old, stone building a couple thousand miles away.
This is so true
