Well that is eye catching. They are obviously using a reference that I am unfamiliar with or has slipped my mind. What are they supposed to be?

Handmaid's Tale

The Handmaid's Tale is a 1985 dystopian novel[2] by Canadian author Margaret Atwood.[3][4] Set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian theocracy that has overthrown the United States government, the novel explores themes of women in subjugation and the various means by which they gain individualism and independence. The novel's title echoes the component parts of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, which comprises a series of connected stories ("The Merchant's Tale", "The Parson's Tale", etc.).[5]

Thanks. I just did a google image search and it looks like you are spot on.

Whether you agree with their view or not, they are protesting in style.

It's very eye-catching.....and hyperbolic.

Hundreds of millions of people are going to die if the bill is signed into law.

Trump would have absolutely no issue with that just as long as they can get live bodies to attend his occasional 2020 campaign rallies, like the one he had in the hick state of Iowa, last week

Not important to Republicans, what's important is that the 1% get their Tax Break.

They can care less that these same people belong to their Base ... so Screw'em

If women can't force their views on men by having them cover their stuff it's oppression against women. Basically what Planned Parenthood has been saying for a while now.

While I think that what they are protesting against is pretty stupid (this just gross over-reaction), the way they are protesting is pretty admirable. No violence, no obstructing traffic, just trying to make their point and get on TV.

 

[WCH]

well, we had the ***** hat crew. Maybe these are the penis heads?

 

[Lutherf]

At least they're not naked. Some of those naked protests are downright scary.

I hope to God you are sarcastic. 310 million in America.

Those topless marches are like pro-choice marches. You could look for a good looking woman in the crowd, but you would get eye cancer before you found one.

I'm not sure he wouldn't use the dead ones as well, you know how touchy he is about his small numbers.

I'm sure they're all looking for you.

I am, but you can see from post #9 and #10 that exaggerated over the top hyperbole is indistinguishable from the DNC talking points.
