Weeping NJ mom dons eerie ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ costume to vote: ‘My way of fighting back'
New York Post ^ | Nov. 5, 2024 | Kate Sheehy

A weeping New Jersey mom donned a scarlet robe and oversized white hood straight from the dystopian Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale’’ to vote Tuesday morning.

“What this outfit means to me is my way of fighting back,’’ said 50-year-old optician Veronica McGrogan after casting her ballot at her polling place, Bloomfield Middle School, in Bloomfield in Essex County.

The eerie costume from the acclaimed series has become a protest symbol for women’s rights, particularly involving abortion — and McGrogan said she fears those rights are threatened by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“I have a blended family. I have a wife. I have a trans daughter. Everything [Trump’s supporters] are against, I kind of check all those lists,’’ the married mom of two said, wiping away tears.

“And it’s terrifying,’’ the woman said.

“I am emotional because this is not a film, this is not a series, this is not a show. This is actually reality,’’ she said.

“I could wake up tomorrow, and this might not be a costume,’’ McGrogan said, grabbing her bright-red robe. “This could be reality.

“I don’t feel safe,’’ she said. “And being here today, voting for [Kamala Harris], making my contribution, to my vote counting for her, hopefully she will be our next president,’’ she said of the veep and Democratic presidential candidate.

Projection. Liberals don’t consider bending wills of men their way to be subjugation.

That weepy fangirl of that anti Christian rag is another reason the 19th amendment has to go.

My very conservative poll had a visit from one of those little red riding hoods for a couple of hours. She hung out next to the table where Harris literature was being peddled.

She was wasting her time because the vote was >2:1 for Trump.

"Handmaid's Tale" is far more enjoyable if you watch it from the perspective that the Republic of Gilead are the good guys, forced to take extreme measures to fix everything after woke libtards ruined the country.

Some of “their” people believe such strange outcomes from this election. The whole abortion lie was the major one. It is not an issue any more as far as the feds are concerned.

Has she even noticed what the Taliban are doing to women in Afghanistan?! Or what about the fact that Iraq just lowered the minimum age of girls for marriage to 9 years old and forbade women from testifying against men in court?! Western feminazis are arrogant selfish spoiled brats!

Why did she dress up as a Handmaid instead of a Martha?
