I don't trust the government, but if I look something up and come to the same conclusions, so be it. I don't listen to the internet, or Joe Rogan style propagandists. I'm not gonna knee-jerk oppose something just because the government agrees. This is your, and people like you's, problem. You're so afraid your peers will perceive you as "trusting the (wrong) government" or going against your favorite propagandists that you will actively oppose your own best interest.
