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 things have been getting worse?
All things
Lots of down votes, but no actual responses.
Because it is ignorant trolling and not a genuine question. People recognize it instantly and downvote instead of giving you the answers you don’t want or need.
Not sure how you missed that but there ya go.
Is that how you always dismiss questions you can’t answer? Who is the ignorant troll? Life expectancy is currently about ten years longer than it was in the eighties. Your turn. Prove me wrong instead of projecting?
The price of damn near everything.
Except, of course, the lowest amount you can legally pay someone for an hour of their labor. That stayed steady as a rock.
My 15 year old makes 16 per hour working fast food. I made 5.25 at his age in the 90s.
Everything is solved and no one is suffering then! Hooray for the power of anecdote!
I’m not sure if you’re aware but they’ve overturned Roe v. Wade.
And that’s just the start of the list.
How about minority rights, accessibility to health care, environmental protections, women’s pay gap and career opportunity in general, black president, woman vice president, safety laws, life expectancy.
None of that counters their point. GJ.
All of the numbers suggest otherwise, but don’t let that get in the way of what you believe in your heart.
Your nonsequitur has nothing to do with me.
You are the one claiming that my multiple examples don’t counter his one example.
I wasn’t claiming, I was letting you know.
It literally wasn’t a nonsequitor. Maybe you should put more energy into making sense instead of trying to make catchy gotchas.
Most of those are going away, too
I guess we will see.
