I’m old enough to remember when some of us said the GOP wants us living in the Handmaid’s Tale world, and men told us we were “overreacting”.

@Strandjunker @mastodonmigration

It’s grannies that want grandbabies too. Don’t assume apparent allies always are. Fascists can come in all ages and stripes

@Strandjunker so many women actually DO live in the handmaid's tale world so i have no reason not to believe that Maga incels want exactly this for all women.
@Strandjunker they clearly do though. No thanks. That happens and I’m headed for Canada.
@evilcookies98 @Strandjunker unlike the world of the novel, the real world #Canada has very slim chance to escape the similar fate as the US, in case the #christofascists take power in the states. Canada has its share of nutjobs, and won't be able to defend against the invasion from the South.
@rory @Strandjunker @ramontaba i’ve read both books. It’s almost creepy how much those people remind me of the nut jobs we’re dealing with.
@ramontaba @evilcookies98 @Strandjunker You are forgetting about US exceptionalism - the rest of us in the English speaking world have a very healthy cynicism about evangelical hypocrites, uppity billionaires, celebrities and influencers , lawyers and shonky real estate businessmen - I mean Australias (real) national anthem is about a bushie stealing a sheep and we are happy to buy a few expensive subs to remain friends.
@Strandjunker for every woman who needs an abortion they should castrate a male. A legislator, member of the judiciary or just any male. Maybe that would be the most effective.
@Strandjunker I mean. It feels like they're still saying that. And I suspect they'll still be saying it if they succeed.
@Strandjunker @falcennial I hate it how “1984” scenarios have gone from “silly” or “we’ve moved on, but feel shame” to … pointing at them
