Being skeptical is generally good but I am afraid that the US is more and more eroding trust in their democracy. Most people think Congress is corrupt, a lot of people think that most elections since 2000 were rigged, or they think Obama is not even eligible to be president, now they think Trump is illegitimate because he didn't win the popular vote.

I think this is a very dangerous path. When people have no faith in established institutions this creates a big opportunity for an authoritarian that "cleans up" the system.
