    Everyone, “If it’s true, show us and that’s that. It is true.”

    Anything from the Trump administration, “Trust us.”

    “Yeah, or no trust even needed, just show us.”

    “No. Just trust us.”

    "Ooooor… How about just show us?

    “No. Stop being ridiculous.”

    The default stance is always; it is not real if there is no evidence to the claim. It’s not like it’s about who’s right and who’s wrong—it’d be cool if Santa were real—its just that belief is pretending something is real when nothing has been shown to indicate it. People that are happy with “trust me, bro” are wayward.
