To be honest, we’ve already seen more than our fill of “Handmaid’s Tale” cosplay doubling a political protest since the inauguration, and it was on full display when Vice President Mike Pence visited Denver Thursday to speak at a fundraiser for the Colorado Republican Party.
This gathering was organized by Indivisible Denver, and the group spared no expense on getting those red capes just right.

Not just mock. To call attention to his regressive & misogynistic politics. #PenceProtest #copolitics https://t.co/NHf10dtxgH

Good thing we have Trump as a buffer between Pence and the Oval Office then, huh?
This is a cautionary tale. Republicans are fighting to take away women's access to reproductive healthcare. Don't let them! #copolitics https://t.co/xRwLKW9xRT

Ahem … “access.” Go grab your credit card and access all the contraception you want.
The protest was to begin at 3:30 p.m. rain, snow, or shine, so too bad for all of those maidens who have day jobs. And what do male allies do to protest? Dress up in full handmaid costume, or stay home and do the sewing?

I didn't vote for Trump, but I'm now convinced that there's such a thing as Trump Derangement Disorder. https://t.co/xDx0lzdrps

When you do this, you mock actual victims of actual violent oppression in the world. Good job, good effort morons. https://t.co/sHmfADkWXe
