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.
Sorry, who’s looking to corporate media for “the resistance” ? Seems like a terribly stupid metric to judge this.
The Rs…it was interesting, when Trump was declared guilty I watched Fox and Newsmax to see if they had actually reported on it.
They WERE calling for a rebellion. They mentioned the 2nd amendment a couple of times, and the rhetoric was generally violence.
The message conservatives get is very different than what the rest of the world gets.
Yeaah, but they have a similar response whenever they learn a unisex bathroom opened in an airport. It’s entirely unsurprising people lacking two braincells to rub together would look to billionaires to call for an “uprising”.
Exactly. I think most of us have identified that the fucking corporate media can’t be trusted to be reliable. This is partially their fault for sane-washing Trump over and over again.
That said, there is resistance. Please check out the subreddit /r/SomethingIsWrong2024.
Is there a reddit-free option?
“We were really excited for all your money when Trump won! Wahhhh!”
