Do you trust the government? A lot of people on both sides don’t. Some for good reasons. Some for bad reasons. Others do trust the government.
In a recent article, I talked about political privilege and how leaders use it for political gain and control, leading many to distrust the government.
But what if I told you that our trust in the government can come down to how much control we have or think we have?
By control, I mean our impact on politics and whether our actions matter and can change a political situation.
This is called political efficacy, and it’s a root cause of the country’s satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the current state of politics on both sides.
