In the wake of the last Presidential debate, a woman named Kelly Thompson decided to take action. She turned to Facebook, inviting a handful of friends to join a private group aimed at supporting a certain candidate. What started as a simple gathering of about 40 folks quickly spiraled into something remarkable. Just three weeks later, the group, now known as Pantsuit Nation, has ballooned to nearly two million members! Yes, you read that right—two million!
This exclusive group isn’t just another corner of the internet; it’s a sanctuary of positivity. To become a member, you typically need a connection—no trolls allowed here! It’s a refreshing escape from the acrid political discourse that often dominates social media. Members frequently express sentiments like, “This has restored my faith in the internet,” as if they’ve stumbled upon a supportive, digital utopia.
A Diverse Community
In Pantsuit Nation, individuals share personal experiences that they may not feel comfortable discussing with family or friends. The community is wonderfully diverse—yes, even Republicans are part of the mix! It’s a space for sharing stories, extending support, and, of course, sporting those iconic pantsuits on Election Day. The pantsuit, often associated with a certain trailblazer, symbolizes a commitment to substance over style, challenging the outdated notion that women in politics should be judged by their attire.
Fun fact: Women weren’t even allowed to wear pantsuits on the Senate floor until 1993! The pantsuit has since become an emblem of female empowerment and resilience in the political sphere, making it the perfect mascot for a group dedicated to uplifting one another.
The Power of Community
Through shared stories, members remind each other that no one is alone during tough times; there’s always a community ready to lift you up. Thanks to Kelly for bringing together so many like-minded people just when we needed it the most.
