Summary

Anti-Trump Americans, especially on the left, are showing a more subdued response to Trump’s 2024 reelection compared to the activism of 2016.

Exhaustion, disillusionment with repeated setbacks, and negative media coverage have led many to disengage from politics or shift focus to personal priorities.

Activist groups, like Women’s March, are planning protests but acknowledge lower enthusiasm and more localized efforts.

Experts suggest this “tune-out” may be a coping mechanism, with some hoping new, non-political participants will lead change.

Many feel drained but believe activism will eventually regain momentum.

    What’s wrong, people don’t want a 24/7 news cycle of all the stupid shit Dumpster will say and do!?

    You mean our media system pushing to have the Orange One elected to increase their ratings could backfire!?

    I could only hope people stop paying attention and paying money for the corporate spun garbage we call news.

      There was so much less CNN blaring in my parents house after Biden was elected. It was nice. I’m not eager to return to that.
