    A couple years ago I watched one episode of this show where women are slaves. Stopped because it was so unrealistic.

    Me today: The show was probably right.

      In case you were unaware, that show was based on a book written in 1985, which was based on real events that had all already happened by that point (and had been, for time immemorial).

      It continuing to happen now should only surprise (or seem unrealistic to) those not paying attention, probably because they aren’t impacted personally. Yet.

      The author has publicly said she’s seeing it come true.

      Shit, Republicans probably stroke themselves at what a utopia Gilead is.

      Gilead is ethnically diverse also though, so that probably puts them off a bit.
