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 …

Um, you realize that when folks say we're getting close to
#handmaidstale, they don't literally mean Gilead? It's a symbol for authoritarian government that strips the rights of sub-groups of the population. The show provides a metaphor to describe current progressions of events. -
When you base your arguments on the fact that we are not literally living in
@MargaretAtwood's novel, you're reframing deep and legitimate fears about our country's policies into a straw man argument that's easy to shrug off with patronizing dismissals. - 1 more reply

Can you stop defending your privileged viewpoint long enough to realise that the people who've been screaming about "white genocide" for years and wanted the EPA, HUD, Dept of Ed, etc, all dismantled, who think every Muslim is a terrorist, think it already happened???

We HAVE severe fertility problems, Brian. Especially in the white population. We HAVE corporate and government failure. I'm a teacher faced with the prospect of there not even being a Dept of Education next year. Terror attacks? Every few months a white guy mows down a crowd.

You DO remember the 4-periods-a-year contraceptives Yaz & Yasmin, don't you?....rendered young Women infertile, among other deadly side effects... NOT that far-fetched at all.http://lopezmchugh.com/2012/03/06/womans-infertility-blamed-on-yaz/index.html …

I can't believe you said that. The circumstances surely could be different and end us in the same place.

Regimes in Argentina and Chile (which were supported by US govt) kidnapped babies from tortured and murdered dissenters. This was well before Atwood wrote Handmaid’s Tale.
