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.

    This time I want Republicans to get everything they want. Either:

    A) my worldviews and beliefs are completely wrong and the Nazis MAGAs really will create a utopian paradise, or B) everything will go to shit and I can finally stop hearing them pine for the fascist hellscape they don’t think they’re creating

      Everything went to shit during Trump’s first term. People decided to conveniently forget all of that and re-elect him. It’s bizarre.
