According to a new AP poll, about two-thirds of Americans have grown exhausted following Donald Trump’s election and are now limiting their consumption of political media.

Summary

A new AP poll reveals widespread political fatigue among Americans, with two-thirds limiting political media consumption post-Trump’s election.

Viewership on CNN and MSNBC has plummeted, with declines of 35-54%, as many Democrats and independents step away from politics.

In contrast, Fox News has seen a 12% ratings surge, dominating cable news.

The trend mirrors post-election slumps in previous cycles, though the erosion is sharper this year.

Some suggest focusing less on Trump and more on broader issues to re-engage disenchanted audiences.

      Well yeah.

      Putin is the role model for Trump and Musk and the rest of the would-be autocrats.

      Their explicit goal is, and has been all along, to establish a plutocratic/kleptocratic oligarchy as much like Putin’s as possible.

      And everything they’ve done and are doing is bent specifically to that goal.

      Pshhh Putin stays in power cause the people love him. He won with 88% of the vote! And if you’re going to sit there and tell me that Russia of all places didn’t have a fair and free election, well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.
