It's like this. We all know the government is fucked and has done terrible things. Liberals know it. Conservatives know it. NATSOC's know it. Libertarians know it. Even the people who don't follow politics know it's fucked.
Here's the issue. Whenever there is actual evidence of something. Maybe the government declassified documents, for instance. All of the information is in plain sight. It's verifiable that it's the truth. Whenever people see these things, they instantly think, "conspiracy theory" and stop thinking. No matter how much evidence is presented, they will never take it seriously until it's directly affecting them personally.
