Quiet March

The pink hats sort of return:

The smaller, quieter march is a reflection of the muted exasperation and a likely symptom of political fatigue that has settled in among anti-Trump forces that were once the driving force of American politics. Democrats are wondering how to reassemble a winning coalition that was once organized around opposition, with many pondering if they should just find a way to work with the figure they once called a threat to democracy itself. “The time to express outrage in that way has passed,” said Vanessa Wruble, who was one of the original organizers of the 2017 protest. She doesn’t plan to march this year, and spoke to POLITICO from the animal sanctuary she now operates in Joshua Tree, California, where a double yellow-headed Amazon parrot named Hot Pants squawked in the background. When asked why she’s forgoing protesting this time around, Wruble said she’s “not that type of progressive anymore” frustrated at what she views as a political left that is “completely cannibalizing itself.”
