This is an observable phenomenon IRL. The reason certain demagogues gain support is that they generally don't appear to "conceal" things. Hiding anything (even if its perfectly reasonable to) will garner suspicion. It's why people always say shit like "only criminals have to worry about increased surveillance" (obviously bullshit, but it's what people genuinely believe).
Honesty, transparency etc are all valued traits ... even though Slavoj Žižek suggested that these things often hurt us more than our presumed knowledge (which is really a suspicion not yet proven).
