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.

    40 here. Been watching it slide downhill for 20 solid years now. Just getting more and more absurd. I’m done. I"ll be doing the ignorance is bliss thing from here on out so I can try to enjoy myself a little. I don’t really care about Americans anymore. Too stupid.
