Handmaid's Tale? Leftist handmaidens destroyed the USA
American Thinker ^ | 30 Sep, 2020 | Diana Mary Sitek

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.

Biden is such a compulsive liar. Just like the rest of the leftists who believe the ends justify the neans.

I heard the inspiration for the much spoken about but never read book, Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale.” was Islam

It may have been Islam, but the left loves Islam. They will use it to attach the oppressor tag to their enemies.

The Handmaiden’s Tail (pun) is all about Democrats wanting sex. That story says more about Democrats than anything else. They trot it out but don’t understand their fascination with the story, they don’t understand that it’s about projection of their inner world and not about the Republicans.

Given the dystopian premise of The Handmaid’s Tale, I’m not sure what the theocracy did that was wrong apart from extremism. The novel is supposed to show the evils of patriarchy. A little bit of patriarchy might have saved Breonna Taylor’s life. I see the tattooed 300 lbs. whales at the grocery store with their illegitimate children in tow ... You’ve come a long way, baby.

What always makes me laugh my ass off is that Attwood portrayed Christianity as oppressing women.
She doesn’t know enough about Christianity and history to realize that women’s rights in the West derive from Christianity.
She needed to take a look at the rest of the world to understand just how true this is. Islam and Hinduism are especially misogynistic.
It is a pity that the publishing world rewarded such ignorance.

Haven’t read it. Homeschooled, I tend to heed the advice of elders who’ve been there, and I hear Handmaid’s Tale is a sand trap. Avoid!

The author echos this Bible verse, especially when “guides” are considered “influencers”:

Isaiah 3:12 (NIV) Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. My people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path.

Coincidentally, Victoria Tennant who played Aunt Lydia in the 1990 movie, turns 70 today.
