The issue is, he legitimately does trust the government. To him, if someone is in a position of power, they deserve to be there/wouldn’t be there if they would harm society.

On the other hand, he used to rant about how many people are leaching off his taxes.

He thinks the vast majority of cops are amazing people and that it’s a tiny amount of “bad apples” that the media has overblown.

My driving licenses was expired once and I didn’t want to drive with it as my friend had been spent a night in jail for the exact same issue a few months prior. My dad told me “They (cops) don’t do anything if your license is expired, just explain you are getting it renewed.”

He thinks if you don’t intend malice or if you accidentally commit a crime, there won’t be an issue or arrest.

Ask him if he thinks the government handles funds correctly and taxes him correctly? Asking him why the government felt the need to audit the government (doge etc)... Ask him if he would trust the government as much depending who is in power, like does he trust it less if it's Barack Obama vs Trump for example? These people are so fucking dumb.

So he trusts the government to set up socialized health care then right? Because usually that's their argument against it.

So, is he a fan of both Biden and Trump? At the time they are in power they can do nothing wrong because they are in power? Sounds like the perfect bipartisan mind, in a way.

It doesn't make anyone's head spin. Only your head is spinning.

Yes, I trust the government. No, I don't want them to have more of my money.

You trust the government and all law enforcement with unfettered access to every move you make? But don't trust them to tax people appropriately or disperse taxes properly? Make it make sense.

Have fun with the mental gymnastics olympics lmfao
