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.

    Democrats need to dumb down their messaging.

    Yup. Stupid wins in America. Next election (if there is one), Democrats need to run the dumbest, most emotionally charged, lying bullshit they possibly can. Because that’s what wins in America. Fabricated, emotional bullshit.

    They need to find their version of “Immigrants are eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio”.

    Americans are dumb. You have to play to that to win.
