 From an outside perspective, it looks more like the mistrust was there 
already.

People in most western democracies are sceptical of government programs 
from the wrong side of the aisle. But they rarely fear them or go out of 
the way to obstruct them like in the US. Germans might complain loudly 
against Energiewende and we Swedes had a long political battle over 
Löntagarfonder, but it did not reach these levels of paranoia. Even a 
big badly planned healthcare reform is not worth this much bile.
