You had asked "how can you not care about poltiics?" which implies there's some force driving people to care about the outcome. Similarly "why would a non voter have that trust when from their view it's a coinflip" is effectively the same question.
If someone doesn't particularly care about the outcome given the available options then it follows that how close or far the odds are isn't going to matter to them.
> Is that what people are worried about? What about the economy, civil rights, wars, etc.
It's important to be clear about the context. There's the thing, and then there's the thing relative to the election where only a few outcomes are possible once the ballot has been set. It is possible to care deeply about the former but not particularly about the latter, either because all options are either good enough or pointlessly bad from your perspective. And of course it is also possible to simple not care (ie be emotionally invested in and go about broadcasting your opinion to others) about the things you listed to begin with.
It's also important to keep in mind that "not caring" can be at odds with "ought to care", although that is obviously a subjective third party judgment.
