Out here in what's still America, handmaid's habits are more like the pussy hats of the Women's March on Washington — handmade, often by those who wear them, and meant to send a message of solidarity. Their appearance may have no more effect on Pence, or on those who support him, than June and her fellow handmaids have so far had on the institutions that enslave them. They may even look a little silly. (If there's one thing the TV Gilead has going for it that a real one probably wouldn't, it's first-class costume design.)
