I disagree 100% but it's just my opinion. The world of politics, at least in the US, needs to earn back trust at this point. Are there good politicians? Of course. Can you readily identify them? Probably not easily. Are they making a significant impact at this moment? Almost impossible to tell given the state of journalism. So what should average citizen do to combat this? At worst trust but verify. At best, question everything.

99% of what i hear and read, directly from politicians state sanctioned websites (official .gov page) is platitudes. Gonna fix everything? Great, please tell me how abd be really fuckin specific.
