Handmaid's Tale? Leftist handmaidens destroyed the USA

Many rational people who attempted to read Margaret Atwood's dystopian The Handmaid's Tale (1985) found it a big yawn. But the left loved it. So Hulu (a Disney company partly owned by Comcast), naturally made a mini-series of it.

Now we have the left opining, on September 21, that people like Amy Barrett were the inspiration for that totalitarian nightmare. "Amy Coney Barrett, a favorite to be President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is affiliated with a type of Christian religious group that served as inspiration for Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale."

I suggest that the boot is on the other foot! It has been the women of the left who are first and foremost the handmaidens responsible for the appalling state of the nation and its totalitarian, "woke" culture — and their narcissist soy boys like former President Obama, Trudeau of Canada, Newsom of California, et al. Looked at in this light, Joe Biden is the perfect Democrat candidate! As a white, ineffectual, imbecilic male, ready to drop off the perch, he is exactly what Democrat women love — and why they detest his opposite, Donald Trump.

Margaret Atwood copied the basic idea from Robert Heinlein's Revolt in 2100. A much better book in my opinion. Read it as a teenage science fiction fan. Read Atwood's take as required reading in college.

Not close enough to be plagiarism, but seriously unoriginal.

The professoress was very not amused by my essay pointing out the similarities in detail.
