The Resistance is nothing if not spectacular at times, though not in the way Debord defined "spectacle."
The Women's Marches in major cities on Jan 21 '17 were truly spectacular non-violent public demonstrations.
The town hall meetings filled with raucous voters are mini-spectacles of public anger.

I think you and Tracy would look great in a knitted pussy power hat, though not, I dare say, in the alternatives proposed by Holly Derr (a knitted imitation vagina, as far as I can make out) or Andi Zeisler, the co-founder of Bitch Media and author of We Were Feminists Once, who appears to have argued for witch hats ("We need to go full witch. We need to really scare some folks")*.
I wonder if the precise fashion choice shouldn't be entrusted to a panel comprising George Soros, some psycho from the CIA, and Rachel Maddow?
