How Freedom Dies

When the public loses faith in government, there can be several consequences, including:

1. Decreased trust in government institutions: People may become disillusioned with the government and view its actions with suspicion, leading to decreased trust in government institutions such as the judiciary, legislature, and executive branch.

2. Reduced political participation: People may become disengaged from the political process, leading to reduced voter turnout and decreased political participation.

3. Increase in social unrest: As people lose faith in government institutions, they may become more likely to engage in protests, demonstrations, and other forms of social unrest.

4. Rise of extremist groups: When people lose faith in government, they may be more likely to turn to extremist groups that promise to bring about change through radical means.

5. Economic instability: A loss of faith in government can lead to a lack of confidence in the economy, which can lead to economic instability and uncertainty.

6. Political polarization: When people lose faith in government, they may become more likely to view those who hold different political beliefs as enemies, leading to increased political polarization.

Overall, a loss of faith in government can have far-reaching and significant consequences for society, including undermining the legitimacy of democratic institutions and eroding social cohesion.

This is how freedom dies too.
