The Waning Momentum of the Trump Resistance Movement
TL;DR Summary
The response to Donald Trump's 2024 election victory has been more subdued compared to the massive protests following his 2016 win. Experts suggest this is due to habituation and disillusionment with activism. While some activist groups are adapting their strategies, focusing on local-level training and coalition-building, the overall resistance movement is less mobilized. The upcoming "The People's March" may not match the scale of the 2017 Women's March, reflecting a shift towards targeting specific policies rather than Trumpism as a whole.
