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.

    Same for MSNBC, really. Cable news is owned by people who have a conflict of interest with the working class.

      MSNBC called Sanders supporters “brownshirts” but had no such vitriol regarding the January 6 insurrectionists.

        Fucking seriously… One asshole even said if Bernie won he’d be put against the wall like having a fucking firing squad aimed at him…

        Anything to keep their millions and millions from decreasing slightly… Even fascism apparently.
