If I didn't have faith or trust in my government, I personally would live somewhere else. But I would rather live nowhere else but here, despite the few warts we may have.

It’s not nitpicking in the least … it zeros in on the key issue which is “trust" as in lack thereof. If leadership (in any organization) takes repeated actions which shatter trust, and continue to demonstrate untrustworthiness, you cannot expect faith to follow.
I have faith in the American people and key institutions (ie US military for one) but the current leaders have shown us they are not worthy of trust. I’m sure you love the country as much as I do … we just see things differently. When I see leaders in office (not just talking Federal) it’s precisely because of my love of country that I want to pursue electoral and other legal means to replace them with more qualified people who can regain my trust, and then hopefully my faith.
