Democrats wore a pink color to protest the Trump’s Congress speech. But was it a moment?

We forget the white salt pants, the political uniform of Trump’s opposition during the term of the first president. On Tuesday night during President Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress, about three of the members of the democratic women gatherings wore bright gradients of pink.

In the middle of the sea of ​​dark claims in the house room, it was impossible to miss all this pink color. It was also impossible not to ask whether members of Congress were retreating from the old performance strategy instead of struggling with their greatest problems.

There was Congress in hot pink. Pink. In the pink child. In pink jackets and pink skirts. There were even some members of Congress in pink relationships. Nancy Pelosi wore a bright pink suit. Actor Tocuda generation from Hawaii, a pink jacket with a bubble with “We People” is equipped in black on its screaming; Actress Theresa Lieg Fernandez of New Mexico, the Collected Chair, the raspberry jacket and the pants of the palace cotton candy.

“We decided to use a strong color because what is happening now is more extreme than ever,” said Ms. Fernandez, referring to Mr. Trump’s policies and executive orders on women’s health care and Ukraine. She said that the pink is “the color of women’s strength, perseverance and resistance.”

Class, pink in the modern era is associated with stereotypes and marginalization of women and gay people. In the seventies of the last century, the term “pink collar functions” referred to jobs assumed by women by an overwhelming majority: secretary, nurse, Lady Cleaning. Later, the term “pink gheto” was formulated to refer to low -wage female workers.

But Elsa Shayparelli is also called “shocking!” And “Barbie” made the pink feminist.

It talks about the female body and meat in a brutal way. (There is a reason for awareness of breast cancer pink ribbon cancer.) He also remembers 2017 and the first period of Mr. Trump, when thousands of women throughout the country wore pink pussy caps to wear in a march in a march the next day of his resumption.

Although the hats did not appear again, by adopting the color and expanding it to their entire clothes, Christwomen try to restore it as a sign of the opposition. It was made in the amazing contrast with the whipped gray Dior suit worn by Melania Trump and Oscar de la Renta from Ivanka Trump. Not to mention a USHA VANCE color trouser suit, from the Los Angeles The Sei, in a fairly confusing light.

Other colors were used as a form of calm disguise during Mr. Trump’s speech – actor Bill Foster of Illinois was wearing a tie in yellow and blue to support Ukraine, as did a number of his colleagues.

But it was the pink that seemed to symbolize complications, whether it was good (it was the beginning of a unified response) and a bad (risking a superficial approval and a type of imaginary), to link the protest with a color.

However, legislators believe that it is worth wearing something that stands out. “But with the color, directly in front of him, we can record our protest,” said Ms. Fernandez, and Mr. Trump may have the microphone. Or at least try.

(Of course, the protest was not just a colored issue. Democrats brought guests to the title, focusing on people who were harmed by Mr. Trump’s policies, and carried the acres that read “stealing musk”, “lies” and “saving medical aid”.)

Although it is difficult to know whether the pink has disturbed or pushed Mr. Trump, it is clear that Mr. Trump is very sensitive to the strength of fashion, especially in times of supreme general faults and watching TV peak. Look at the way the Ukrainian leader Folodimir Zelinski received last week before their diplomatic meeting by commenting on his choice of clothes, and a mockery of the military shirt and the long sleeves he was wearing to the White House, “You are wearing all today.” Mr. Trump has his own national uniform, Vice President JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson alike to match the joint address.

It is no wonder that almost every state during the first period of Mr. Trump, the dress became a form of silent protest: those white suits in 2017, 2019 and 2020; Black for #Metoo in 2018. By the last time Joe Biden, when the presidential race was ongoing, that was a visual sign of the battle lines that are drawn on both sides of the partisan passage – and a preview of what would have come.
