Michael Moore Says 'We're Living The Handmaid's Tale' IRL (Proves opioids are dangerous)

"This is a serious point," Moore warned on Bill Maher.

Michael Moore is urging Americans to oppose Donald Trump right now, before the U.S. looks just like Gilead.

"We are living 'The Handmaid's Tale,'" Moore said on "Real Time With Bill Maher" Friday night. "This is a serious point. The best part of the show is the flashbacks, where [Offred, played by Elizabeth Moss] tries to figure out where was the point where it was too late. Where was the point that if we all just had risen up, just done something? But because it happens in little increments. That's how fascism works."

The dystopian book-turned-award-winning Hulu television series takes place in a totalitarian society, Gilead, which is ruled by a fundamentalist regime and where women's wombs are treated as property of the state. Because of dropping birth rates, fertile women are sent into sexual servitude.

As more of the story comes to our small screens, the parralels become all to familiar. For example, a timely episode this season focused on children being ripped from their parents, as children were being taken from their parents at the border in the real world.

Moore also said Americans need to act quickly, because if they don't, Trump will likely win the 2020 election and will try to stay in office after two terms.

"You have to listen this time," Moore said to the camera, "Because he is going to win the 2020 election."

"Even if he doesn't, he's not going to leave," Maher added.

Moore and Maher both noted how Trump has shown admiration for dictators such as China's President Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un, both who have been in power for many years past the U.S.' two terms.

"[Trump] won't leave after the second term if he doesn't have to, if nobody stops him," Moore said. "This man believes in being president for life."

"He loves the dictators," Moore continued. "I'm telling you, my friends, if we don't stop it now, you'll look back at this show when we were all goofing around, talking about 'The Handmaid's Tale', but this is the moment."

Moore, who's past work includes the documentaries "Bowling for Columbine" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" was promoting his new film, "Fahrenheit 11/9," referring to the date when Trump was elected. The director said he hopes that the film, which premieres September 21 (a few weeks before the midterm elections), will encourage people to get out to the polls.

"We're going to bring Trump down," Moore said. "I am not going to participate in providing hope for people. Anybody who is hanging on hope, that implies there's no sense of urgency. This is not about somewhere over the rainbow. Optimism is very dangerous. It's not about warm and fuzzy now."

These people are far too stupid, blind to reality, and in love with their own failed doctrines to see just how they are being deftly outmaneuvered by Trump. They do all have something in common, in that they are consistently wrong about everything and anything that matters.

Making stuff up is all these miserable punks have.

[marktwain]

Moore is dangerous because he has some ablility to see the differenciation between the limited state philosophy and the collectivist philosophy he promotes.

He is even more dangerous because he has absolutely no scruples about lying, misleading, manipulating, and using fraud to promote the ends he is aiming for.

He is correct that this is a game changing election. He is completely wrong about the consequences of where we are heading.

years ago I found a ick crawling on me looking for a bite spot, I fluhed it, a cruel death in a dark s hole, I think it escaped and morphed into anti reality man moore

But because it happens in little increments. That's how fascism works."

mm Kiss My A$$!!!

Exactly what you commie pigs do!

Is that you, Paul Joseph Goebbels German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945 or an imposter ???

SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!!!

The best part of the show is the flashbacks, where [Offred, played by Elizabeth Moss] tries to figure out where was the point where it was too late. Where was the point that if we all just had risen up, just done something? But because it happens in little increments. That's how fascism works.

Michael, FYI, we did rise up in November 2016 because we were dangerously close to the point of no return. We knew that Hillary intended to strike the death blow to our freedom after Obama's eight years of destruction.

So I have no idea what your complaint is.

Dude...it’s a TV show. It’s not real. It’s dystopian, not prophetic.

[MUDDOG]

The more Michael Moore runs his mouth, the more he helps Trump.

Same for the pro-asylum marches yesterday. CNN’s been playing a clip of a teenage anchor baby with a shrill voice making a speech about how inhuman the secure-borders people are.

As with the protestors in the late ‘60s, Middle America is repulsed by these people. The more she and her kind march and appear on TV, the more they drive away most Americans.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

. . .choose an interesting one like The Lord of the Rings * * * Exactly. Choosing a fable that most of us has never heard of proves Moore's mind is slipping. He's diving deep down but can't find anything interesting to say.

Moore's followers in Rust Belt land clearly rejected Moore and his screw-the-blue-collar-worker to make money on the sly as a Never-Trump talking head.

[poconopundit]

Wow, doc.

It’s one of the finest passages in support of our 2nd Amendment and will to defend ourselves. Thanks.

[Rocky]

Thanks to Moore, I keep reliving the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man nightmare from Ghostbusters.

Whether or not the author intended it to be, “Handmaids’ Tale” is about islam.

[snoringbear]

“President Trump will leave office after two terms. You read it here.”

Lol, yeh.
If any president seriously considered staying for a third term it was Obama. In fact, im guessing he may have had a few of his trusted goons, Holder, Jarrett, Brennan, etc, research how It might be pulled off. Probably decided it couldn’t be done.

[Deplorable American1776]

Does Moore think that people cares what he thinks...I think ConservaTeen could win a debate between Moore, Maxine and Chuckie together...

[CIB-173RDABN]

will try to stay in office after two terms.

Red meat for the left. This President has obeyed every court order issued against his administration, he has put up with a corrupt DOJ and FBI and allowed Mueller to drag out an investigation that never should have begun.

If President Trump wanted to abuse his powers he could have just ignored the courts, he would have fired the entire top management of the DOJ and FBI and then pardon everyone under “investigation” by Mueller then fire Mueller.

He has done none of those things. So there in no indication that he wants to extend his term beyond two terms. And there is no indication that any one would support such an unconstitutional move, his supporters would be the first to turn against him.

So like everything Mike says or does, it is a lie.

[bgill]

That whale is one Snickers bar away from a stroke.

[Mariner]

It’s confirmed now.

The left is friggin’ crazy. Certifiably.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Seems to me we are living The Princess Bride, with MM starring as the ROUS.

[Kanakabaraka]

Something interesting to me about the left pushing this Handmaid’s Tale narrative is how so many of these protests have featured leftists screaming, “Shame! Shame! SHAME!!” I first noticed it with Kirstjen Nielsen and again in several clips yesterday. Isn’t that lifted directly out of the book? (I haven’t seen the Hulu series, but I can’t imagine they omitted it.) They seem to have decided the book is a great idea, as long as they can get it implemented first.
