Distrust Is A Dangerous Toy

The fall in trust among citizens regarding everything that state officials are doing – from anticorona measures to the conducting of election procedures – is a coin with two side, because on the other side it is accompanied by the gullibility to accept anything as salvation. In “play” for these elections won’t only be the attitude of voters regarding who they’ll vote for, but also who they will see as the winner after voting.

In order for us to be able to state with certainty whether and with what consequences the choices of voters in the upcoming elections will have changed due to the pandemic we would need to have the findings of a reliable public opinion poll. Demostat’s findings from last November only show that opposition voters are significantly more distrusting of Covid virus vaccines than those who voted for the government. We can see three consequences of the Coronavirus pandemic with the naked eye.

First is a decline in trust in the current political system and everything that state officials are doing – from anti-Corona measures to the conducting of election procedures.

We can see three consequences of the coronavirus pandemic with the naked eye. First is a decline in trust in the current political system, second is growing combativeness among the people and a polarising of the convictions that they already have, and third is the increasingly vague broader framework of the outcomes of political movements around the world

Second is growing combativeness among the people and a polarising of the convictions that they already have, because political stances are connected with the raw struggle for health and life. Third is the increasingly vague broader framework of that struggle, which is confusing and frightening.

Also under this framework are changes happening around the world, for example in the U.S. elections and events after them. Then there is the fact that, due to the quarantine, political content is rarely “live” and is reduced to mediation via the internet and social networks, which raises doubts about the new level of social control that extends beyond the previous influence of the classical media. That fall in trust is a coin with two sides, because on the other side it is accompanied by the gullibility to accept anything as salvation.
