Do any of us trust anything? Maybe I spend too much time on Twitter, but I sense a lack of trust even in the real people I talk to.

We long ago stopped trusting election polling, right? Now millions of us don鈥檛 even trust the actual election results.

The vote counters in Georgia haven鈥檛 given up 鈥 they are so determined to get us to trust their recount they鈥檙e doing it by hand, and they鈥檙e going to stream it live!

But will we trust even聽that? Or will we tell our friends on Facebook that it鈥檚 recount theater, and merely actors on a sound stage?

The federal government鈥檚 cybersecurity agency Thursday declared the last election to be the most secure in American history. But do you trust that?

And then there鈥檚 the virus. Those projections turned out to be right! Again, we鈥檙e seeing crowded hospitals and improvised morgues and yet, the gatherings continue and the mask numbers don鈥檛 budge. Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois couldn鈥檛 help himself 鈥 he just had to blurt it out:

鈥淲hat will it take to make this real for you?鈥 he asked, of a new stay-at-home order for the state.

奥丑补迟听will it take? And I haven鈥檛 even mentioned the whole climate change thing. How many hurricanes have we had? Do we need a hand recount of the hurricanes?

Anyway, that鈥檚 why I鈥檓 proposing a new national motto, and here it is:

鈥淲hat will it take?鈥

Yes! The perfect motto for a nation that trusts nothing!
