We are not "a few steps from The Handmaids Tale." I don't think this kind of fear-mongering helps anybody. https://twitter.com/Amy_Siskind/status/1011423623788318734 …

How many steps are we from women being forced to carry fetuses against their will? 4. Trump nominates Kennedy replacement. Replacement confirmed. SC takes up RvW denial case RvW overturned. How helpful is it to be in denial arguing it’s 1000 steps by adding in trivial details?

When the government is out there creating baby jails at the same time that the SCOTUS seat is up for grabs, it is a five alarm fire Brian. People are not worried because of what Amy is saying, they are worried because they take all the stuff said by Trump seriously.

You seem to think he's joking about admiring dictators. Personally, I have so far not been wrong in just... taking what the man says as a guide. What kind of dictatorship do you think he imagines he would be creating, if his supporters are evangelicals?
-
Would he get there? WE DON'T KNOW. It's what he says he wants, though. And if he gets another Gorsuch on there, who knows what's going to happen. It's not like even the recent court rulings were reassuring. They are building camps in military facilities, Brian. Wake tf up.

Because Brian, Women know that their rights are precarious, and it only takes a decision or two to make life miserable for millions of us. Ditto for the poor, poc and lgtb. It doesn’t have to be Gilead, but mere shades of Gilead to affect us. You have no skin in this game.

How so? My family is here in the U.S. because of fascism & authoritarianism. It slow rolls-then moves fast-like turning the final judicial body into a rubber stamp for a Narcissistic & sadistic authoritarian wannabe. I don’t see that many steps.

Would it be more helpful to say that 'we're a few steps from a new Third Reich?' Because we're pretty demonstrably down that road already.

If we’ve learned anything from this admin it’s that expecting the worst is in our best interest, so I don’t understand how someone can have this attitude unless they are a straight white guy who hasn’t experienced any direct threats to his comfort & existence bc of his identity

We are one tiny step away from Roe v Wade, gone. LGBT rights, gone. Babies are being put in concentration camps. Legal sex-related businesses are being purged. POTUS aspires to autocracy, openly conspires w/ Putin against US, no GOP push-back. You are egregiously wrong.

You don't know that. The republican party has been chipping away at the rights of women for years and mostly failing because dems were in a position to block them. There is nothing to block them now so whatever they get in their heads to do they will do.

Seriously? One decision, saying the unborn baby is a US citizen, is all it takes. And that’s precisely why the anti-abortion groups have been putting their focus there.

"how is it helpful to claim otherwise?" We are bordering on the edge of fascism becoming a reality in the US due to the policies coming from Trump. Many people don't understand the German comparison, using Gilead is a modern explanation. But the warning is the same. Do better.

OMG, you poor guy. Stop digging in. To say we're a hundred or a thousand steps away from a show because you talked to a producer????? Talk to Margaret Atwood. We are at the door. Stop being a white guy in a bubble talking to folks who reinforce your thoughts.
-
Ya, and actually read the book, too, Brian. The show is excellent but the book is much scarier from a woman’s perspective.

It may be hundreds of steps, it may be less. The issue is the trajectory. The trajectory. The path to Gilead. That is not an unreasonable conclusion.

Omg if only we could invent some way to evoke similarities without literally meaning the same exact thing in every detail. In my future utopia, we would call this marvelous device a “metaphor” and even mildly dense “very important reporter” types would understand them.

Brian I cannot believe how clueless and naive you are!!! But then, you aren't in danger of having your reproductive rights being null and void. I double dog dare you to report on immigrant detainees being denied an abortion (she was raped) by our GOVERNMENT!!!

The beginning is the slow taking away of women's rights and putting them into their husband's hands. Husbands have to sign off on birth control.
