Wasn’t America supposed to devolve into a handmaids type society if Kavanaugh was on the Supreme Court? Whatever happened with that?
A show made by people who know nothing about the subject they say the show is about.
As opposed to the real world where gay couples hire 3rd world women to serve as "vessels" for their children.
The violent annhilation of Christianity is the core motivation of Democrats.
I was an avid fan of the TV Series “Stargate SG-1” for a number of years, when the arch-villains of the universe were modeled after the Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, called “The Gua’uld”. However, after several seasons, the Gua’uld had been killed off and they needed some new villains.
After a brief period with a nasty named “Ba’al”, the team found themselves on a new planet where the people looked and acted like Amish Folks, and they were in bondage to a particularly evil group of oppressors called “The Ori”. At first it seemed like a take on Islam, as all the people were mandated to publicly engage in prayer every day for certain hours. But then the imagery, music, language, actions became an obvious parody of Christianity. I stopped watching the series and never looked back, not even for reruns of the good ones. They just lost me entirely.

That’s an actual show?
I’ll be.....
I thought it was a Heinz Ketchup commercial.
Ironically, the people who are now using women as “vessels” - as hired baby machines - are homosexuals.
If it’s still on the air someone is watching it.
I never give the show a second’s thought once I found out what it was about.
We can’t stop people from watching.
But we can NOT watch it.
Trust the Democrats to latch on to one distopia after another and prophesize the world is coming to an end. Fear is at the root of how they want to control you.
The producers are clearly still in full post-Kavanaugh hissy fit mode.
From interviews I’ve read with the author, she really was a Christophobe. She was honestly afraid that the Jerry Falwell types would lead to a Christian Taliban.
The liberal hatred of Christianity is why “The Handmaid’s Tale” is required reading in so many colleges, including mine. It fits perfectly with their hateful stereotypes of conservatives and Christians, that those people who gave women the vote and equal rights are secretly slobbering in lust to put women in burqas and rape them, then oppressing them with babies. That’s why there was even an “audience” for the TV show that gave it critical acclaim.
They really do believe their hateful stereotypes of Christians and conservatives, and then use those vicious negative stereotypes to justify systematic oppression OF Christians and conservatives.
All while they justify or minimize Islamic oppression by the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram. ISIS had AUNTS, female enforcers and women who supervised the sex slaves. But you aren’t allowed to talk about THAT.
The risible irony of this premise is that plenty of examples of this exact conduct are extant throughout the Muslim world.
I can't think of a single example in a regional or national Christian paradigm where such rules of forced pregnancy and breeding was allowed, but from the inception of Islam, this has been the norm, reinforced by the Koran and Hadith.
I had to study the book in High School, and it was nowhere *NEAR* as shrill as the TV adaptation is making it out to be.
Reading the book, it was very clear to me that Atwood had meant for it to be a speculative story, and not a piece of shrill propaganda.
Not religious people: Not Hindu people. Not Buddhist people. NOT MUSLIM PEOPLE!
Christian people. Even the so-called right publishes propaganda.
