Just as it takes a generations worth of time to delegitimize elections and trust, it will take at least another to return to legitimacy.

This is the Cold Wars long term effects coming into play - when the US would lie to their citizens and install dictators across the world. The more realpolitik politicians get to make policy the more violent the world gets.

I agree that trust takes a long time to build, but trust can be lost very quickly. Imagine a classic "trust fall" exercise. How many times do I have to drop you to stop trusting me?
