Political tension is a feature, not a bug. We don’t want runaway bureaucracy and we don’t want anarchy. The best way we’ve found to achieve that is through natural conflict both between branches of the government and between states and the federal government. We’re coming off of 80ish years of strong federal centralized power, so things may seem uncomfortable for a while as we transition. My best advice is not to watch or read the news, don’t get wrapped up in it.
