It's amazing to me that people who openly distrust obviously untrustworthy US police departments continue to trust the US federal government.

Distrust isn't a single thing. Distrusting cops is an entirely different kind of distrust than distrusting RFK Jr. RFK Jr kills people with pseudoscience. Cops go hands-on. I don't know enough about the statistics to compare the magnitude of killing. But I do know that the solutions would have to be completely different.

There's a difference between trusting cops, trusting the high-level branches of the US Government, and trusting the various departments of the US bureaucracy.

For example, I trust NOAA or NASA, used to trust the CDC, would never trust the CIA or FBI (because cops).

Why no longer trust CDC?

I'm sure the employees are doing their jobs to the best of their abilities. but i doubt the administration is going to be truthful about any disease outbreaks. and they're already pushing anti-vax nonsense.
