That's one of the great things about America. Sure, it went full Honey Boo Boo and elected Trump. But by his first week in office you can see the pendulum swinging back the other way. A women's rally far larger than Trump's inauguration - and repeated all across the country - warned other elected officials that the success of pandering to the alt-right was a one-off event that could backfire if they tried it themselves. Existing fact-checking sites like PolitiFact are becoming more prominent, while "alternative facts" sites like Breitbart are having their revenue cut off.
