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.

    Exactly this. Its is not 2016. He was shockingly upfront about the chaos and corruption he was planning, both in word and deed… and he won, not just the Electoral College but the popular vote as well. I’m more disappointed in the American public than I am afraid of Trump. If anything stops him from ending the republic, it won’t be a liberal resistance; it will be the corruption and incompetence within his own camp. And if he does manage to destroy us all, it will be because we deserved it.
