CNET: 'Pantsuit Nation': Inside the secret Hillary Clinton Facebook group
https://www.cnet.com/news/pantsuit-nation-secret-hillary-clinton-facebook-group-donald-trump/?ftag=COS-05-10aaa0b&linkId=30908796The secret Facebook group "Pantsuit Nation" started as a Hillary Clinton fan club but has morphed into a movement of its own.
Just a day before the US presidential election, the group has exploded in popularity -- racking up nearly 2 million members and spawning its own Twitter hashtag #pantsuitnation. In the last 24 hours, members of the secret group have doubled and even a separate, but less popular, public Pantsuit Nation Facebook page has popped up.
In a vitriolic election season, Pantsuit Nation has provided a safe space where fans can tell their personal stories and praise their candidate.
"I grew up in South Carolina, the only daughter in a big red family full of conservative white Christians," one member wrote on Monday. "I am a blue speck in the family roll call; it gets a little lonely, a little intimidating."

There are a few more paragraphs at the link. Let's hope there are at least 20 or 30 secret Clinton voters for every member of this secret Facebook group.
