Summary

Following Trump’s 2024 election victory, the fervor of anti-Trump media and resistance movements has sharply declined.

Outlets like Drudge Report and MSNBC have seen significant viewership drops, while platforms like X (formerly Twitter) face progressive disengagement as figures like Nicolle Wallace and The Guardian pull back.

The “Resistance 2.0” appears muted compared to 2016, with fewer protests, diminished media energy, and a waning appetite for anti-Trump political books.

Critics worry this apathy could weaken opposition to Trump’s more radical second-term agenda, leaving backlash dependent on his upcoming actions.

    We tried to tell you at the war in the middle east protests.

    We tried to tell you at Occupy Wall Street.

    We tried to tell you during Bernies 2016 run.

    We tried to tell you during Black Lives Matter.

    We tried to tell you during Bernies 2020 campaign.

    Its been decades and now we’re tuning out for our own sanity and the media and politicians are going to have to solve the problems they made and exacerbated themselves.

      A movement that calls it quits after losing an election is not a serious movement. It’s more like a performance.

      Maybe that’s why nobody was listening to you.
