I tend to disagree with the premise. I believe this, which is why it's appended in red to *every* email I send:
"~ our Founders never intended for Americans to trust their government; our entire Constitution is predicated on the notion that government is a necessary evil, to be restrained and minimized as much as possible"

I keep asking " when did people start trusting the government?" I must have missed that memo!
Never underestimate how gullible the sheep are. On social media the other day discussing the Chinese spy balloon, I pointed out how the balloon was allowed to traverse the country gathering information on military bases. A woman responded that the government prevented that from happening and added, "I trust our government".
In an ideal world, everyone would have that quote memorized. But I think a lot of people retreat to the comfort of rationalization; it's much easier to believe those in power have our best interest at heart.
And in return they get free stuff!
free stuff they paid double the price for ! And the sheep are paying with their health and lives
I recall the quote "If you think (fill in the blank) is expensive now, wait till it is free."
Haha, yup!
The epithet for Western Civilization: “but it was so convenient”
That's why the Founders included the 2nd Amendment, which those in charge are desperately trying to eliminate.
