On one hand, I think that under any administration -- whether they are new or newly re-elected -- Americans should warily view the actions of the Executive branch. I think we're all in agreement that those checks and balances are important, and I think most of us would agree that there's little good in weakening them for whatever reason. After an election won by Team Coke, then it is natural for Team Pepsi to be unhappy and view everything that Team Coke does with skepticism. It's also expected that some supporters of Team Pepsi hope that Team Coke stumbles a bit, gets egg on their face, and generally looks bad while taking a victory lap. But I think we're a bit beyond that. To move to a more specific analogy, we're at the "Glenn Beck telling his audience about Obama's FEMA camps" stage of hysteria and nonsense, writ large. This mania has crept into just about every facet of American life at this point that involves the Internet or the media. It's built upon a foundation of hearsay and rumor -- the Trump administration has been in power for less than two weeks and has signed no legislation into law, implemented 8 Executive Orders, and has appointed zero judges. Concern is fine. Concern implies vigilance and understanding. What we're seeing is more akin to frenzy.
