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 many people may have initially overestimated the threat of reactionary anti-institutionalism in Trump's first term, but it's important to remain vigilant in the second term. The potential for damage is still significant, especially with a more moderate facade. It's crucial to continue to address and work against any threats to our institutions.
