I’m personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it’s entirely Biden’s fault that people don’t want to vote for him.

    Imagine thinking we’re not already there. What, does it only become dystopian when we don anachronistic 19th century costumes? People are already being jailed for miscarraiges, the chuds are instructing state national guard formations to disobey the federal government and Joseph Robinette Buchanan isn’t doing anything about it.

          its honestly a pretty key part of the story, the whole reason handmaidens are a thing is because most women are infertile as a result of nuclear fallout (which is unlikely anyways), and then powerful men use this as an opportunity to curtail womens rights in order to be able to have more children. the outfits are pretty silly too, ngl. its a pretty nonsensical series, really.

      That’s the point of fiction though, it acts as a sort of ‘mirror’ which makes things more evident than they would be if you they were just shown as they are. It’s always a critique about the world we live in, not of a vague possible reality.
