The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.

Angela, the pussy hats weren't very effective. Knitting is cool, especially if you put resistance messages in it, but it's not resistance. It's performative. It's only actually effective if you're a spy and putting messages in or something. Otherwise it's a hobby, and the pussy hats were just silly.
