These people are SO STUPID that they are missing the whole point of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’.

That it is a progressive totalitarian regime that controls your whole lives.

Not a democracy that won’t let you have an abortion.

Same with The Hunger Games. The uber lib star is playing a conservative patriot hero fighting a dystopian leftist society and doesn’t realize it through three movies.

I'm not sure if they're missing the point or not, because I don't know if novel even had a point.

The author of the book, Margaret Atwood, is a full-rabid Trump hater (and America hater), and has encouraged the use of her pseudo-Puritan garb in protests against the symbol of all she hates.

“That it is a progressive totalitarian regime that controls your whole lives.”

They think they are being “controlled” because they can’t have an abortion!!!

Here is when I do my “Aunt Lydia”

“Who’s fault is it that you got pregnant? That’s right, it’s your fault!”

however this one is actually from the book:

“Ordinary, said Aunt Lydia, is what you are used to. This may not seem ordinary to you now, but after a time it will. It will become ordinary.”

I like that you know why? Abortion was NOT “Ordinary” when I was born, it became “Ordinary” after 1973. Well to you young people born after 1973 who survived Roe vs Wade heed Aunt Lydia’s words “Ordinary” is what you are used to, when Roe is over turned it may not seem “ordinary” to you but after time IT DAMN WILL.
