Pantsuit Nation started as a “secret†Facebook group on October 20, 2016, with about thirty friends planning to wear pantsuits to the polls on Election Day. The emphasis on “going high†and a commitment to creating a troll-free space in which Clinton supporters could enthusiastically support their candidate struck a nerve. In the span of twenty-four hours, the group exploded to 24,000 members (new members could only be added by friends already within the group). Within a few weeks, group membership reached 3 million people.
