Don't trust any government. Period.

I‘m not sure if Democracy can survive with that sentiment but I‘m also not sure if it can survive without it.

Democracy relies on transparency and verification, not trust. Any government official who tries to keep secrets from the public is an enemy of the People.

You need some trust I think. You wouldn‘t really need elections if everything was fact based and that would cause distrust.

Democracy does not need government. Works better without it.
