Reply #36: Wanna get freaked out all over again? Read "The Handmaid's Tale" [View All]

I'm about halfway through it. It speaks about things like:

"it was after the catastrophe"

"the Army declared a state of emergency. They blamed it on the Islamic fanatics, at the time."

"That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it was temporary. There wasn't even rioting in the streets."

"They said that new elections would be held, but that it would take some time to prepare for them. The thing to do, they said, was to continue on as usual."

Talks about the "Homeland." Lot of religious whackos controlling the baby-making process. Women have no rights.

Etc. etc.
