You'd be surprised how few people actually care about most of the things you hold strong convictions about.
Concepts like the morality of the government are actually pretty intangible to the average person who doesn't have the time or energy to care.
Most people don't have trust to begin with, they just don't care because it isn't meaningful to begin with. They spend their entire lives expecting to have no control over who is in power or how they got there with barely a glimmer of pretense of their own mattering in the grand scheme of things. In order for them to achieve a righteous outage over it they'd need to first attain a sense of entitlement to what it is you claim they're being robbed of to begin with.
In a related corollary, some people will go to any lengths to insist they're being robbed of something they never had to begin with but feel entitled to have even though they also also have no meaningful plan or use for it if it were in fact handed to them.

It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
