Why Americans Believe Their Government Hates Them

In recent years, public trust in government has plummeted in the United States, with many citizens developing a profound skepticism towards the intentions of their elected officials. Recent behaviors by political elites and the globalist interests they align with, have led to the belief among many Americans that their government does not have their best interests at heart.

The U.S. food market is flooded with products that, while legal, give reason for the many concerns for their health implications. High-sugar cereals, processed foods, packed with preservatives, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), with unclear long-term health effects are widely available. Regulatory agencies like the FDA have not been stringent enough in safeguarding consumer health, swayed by industry lobbying instead. Statements by decision makers and the policies they invoke, display clearly that the government is complicit in allowing a slow poison to pervade our diets.

The relationship between government policy, pharmaceutical companies, and public health is fraught with controversy also. Medications, once approved, can sometimes do more harm than good, with side effects or dependencies that overshadow their benefits. The opioid crisis serves as a stark example where regulatory oversights or industry influence has contributed to widespread addiction. Moreover, the escalating costs of healthcare and medication, coupled with economic policies that push more Americans into poverty, make healthcare a luxury rather than a right, reinforcing the belief that the system is designed to profit off of illness rather than cure it.

Economic decisions, including tax policies, deregulation, and labor laws, have been favoring the rich while the middle and lower classes struggle. The widening wealth gap, stagnant wages, and the increasing cost of living have left many Americans abandoned by their leaders. The inability to afford basic healthcare, education, and housing due to low income or unemployment further entrenches that betrayal.

The handling of crime and public safety has also fueled public discontent and distrust. Policies too lenient on crime, such as certain criminal justice reforms or the reduction of police funding, have been met with backlash, especially in communities where crime rates are rising. The government protects criminals more than victims, leading to vulnerability and the abandonment of mainstream America. This is compounded by the fight over gun rights, where efforts to regulate firearms are often an infringement on personal safety and self-defense rights as political elites do all they can to ignore the words "shall not" in the second amendment.

The push for stricter gun control laws is recognized by the populace as an attack on their constitutional rights, particularly the right to bear arms for protection. The fear is not just about losing guns but about losing the last line of personal defense in a system where trust in law enforcement and government protection is almost nil.

The convergence of these issues shows Americans that government actions are not just misguided but are deliberately harmful. This isn't to say that these perceptions are universally held or that they are without counterarguments. Proponents of these policies often argue for health autonomy, economic freedom, criminal justice reform, and public safety through different means. However, the cumulative effect of these policies has led to a significant social destruction of a large portion of the American public, leaving them holding a very dark view of their government's intentions and believing that the political elites hate Americans.
