I'd like to suggest we DO continue to question anything that trump does that seems questionable, and that we DO continue to hold our election security (and anything else) to the highest of standards, such as insisting that proper audits are completed and publicized, and supporting any attempts to verify the legitimacy of any actions going forward.

We should NOT just take the word of anyone on important matters, we should NOT allow ourselves to be intimidated as soon as anyone throws out the phrase "conspiracy theory!", and we should NOT simply pre-obey.
