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.
If you’re looking to the drudge report for resistance, you were always going to end up disappointed.
The resistance is out your front door. Touch grass. Get involved in local mutual aid groups, find the people doing good things in your community and help them.
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU. WE PROTECT US.
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.
Uh…the big We is fucking stupid. It’s not stopping anything at this point. That ship has sailed.
“The big we” isn’t some amorphous blob online or something organized by some national group. It’s your trusted friends, family, and neighbors.
No, nothing was ever stopping political or business swamp creatures. That ship really sailed in 1980. Or in the early 1900s. Or in 1860. Or in 1776. Take your pick.
Decentralized groups of people just trying to help each other out is how we rise out disasters when there is no help coming. Whether that disaster is natural or man-made. It doesn’t really matter whether or not you believe it, it’s empirically evident.
