People overestimate the threat of reactionary anti-institutionalism in the first term, but underestimate it in the second term. The first Trump term threatened to be a wrecking ball but landed like a hand-swung sledgehammer in just a few places. The worst damage (SCOTUS capture) was dealt by McConnell’s senate and Federslist society, not Trump. The second term looks like a moderated, mellowed rubber mallet but will likely land like a wrecking ball.

It’s true that the threat of reactionary anti-institutionalism may have been overestimated in the first term, but there are concerns that it may be underestimated in the second term. The damage dealt by McConnell’s senate and the Federalist Society during the first term is certainly a cause for concern. And while the second term may seem more moderated and mellowed, there is a fear that it could still bring about significant damage. It’s important to remain vigilant and address these threats as they arise.
