A report suggests that many Democrats are feeling too "fatigued" to mount a resistance movement against another Trump presidency.

According to The New York Times, many anti-Trump liberal activists are uncertain if they have the stamina to sustain a resistance movement against President-elect Donald Trump for another four years.

After Trump's re-election, anti-Trumpers expressed their struggle to remain motivated to organize against his agenda, particularly since he won more decisively in 2020 than in 2016.

Numerous individuals are feeling drained, as Cynthia Shaw, a Democratic activist and poll worker from Detroit, stated to the Times.

In response to Trump's 2016 victory, numerous Democrats became outspoken opponents, participating in protests, demonstrations, and campaigning for liberal candidates to impede his first-term plans.

In 2017, following President Trump's inauguration, a significant demonstration of opposition to him occurred when hundreds of thousands of Americans wore pink hats and assembled in Washington, D.C., for the Women's March.

Despite Trump's presidency, the opposition movement remained strong and kept the left energized, but recent reports suggest that its passion may be decreasing.

As Mr. Trump prepares to lead a divided country that voted more decisively in his favor this time, many are questioning their ability to endure another term of his leadership.

Ken Turco, a resistance member and photographer from North Carolina, has stated that he is finished with political activism after Trump's victory this week. He expressed his exhaustion and frustration, stating that nothing ever changes in the country and that there are too many people who hold different views than his own.

Turco confessed to deleting all of his social media and news apps after the election results and stated that he would cease his volunteer work assisting North Carolina residents rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because they reside in Republican-leaning counties.

"I couldn't care less about their fate since they voted for it and will receive everything they asked for," Turco stated.

Elizabeth Hyde, a history professor from New Jersey, expressed uncertainty about attending another Women's March during the second Trump term, according to The Times.

"I said, 'I don't know, it might be too dangerous,' and that reflects the changes we've experienced from 2016 to now," she stated.

Recognizing the need for more anti-Trump resistance, Manny Yekutiel, a San Francisco native who hosted Vice President Kamala Harris on Election Night, admitted that people are feeling tired.

"He stated, "We did this already," while expressing a sense of greater exhaustion. He then added, "As Democrats, liberals, and San Franciscans, we must take a deep look at loneliness, economic uncertainty, and fear. How can we diagnose these issues and find solutions?""

Although some resistance members admitted they were worn down, Liz Folkestead, a Colorado native who Googled "How to move me and two kids to Portugal," stated that she is not done fighting.

"I'll show up, I'll march, and there is solace in knowing that you're not alone."
