Religious conservatives see opportunities for fresh gains after a series of victories during Trump’s first term. Rights advocates see a dangerous blurring of church and state.
The Handmaid’s Tale perfectly describes the kind of society they want.
When I was still watching that show, I was perplexed that Democrats would say that’s the world Republicans want and Republicans would say that’s the world Democrats want.
I’m firmly in the former camp and cannot for the life of me figure out how a conservative could agree with the latter.
Wow, haven’t heard any cons making that claim, but I certainly believe they have.
I think it’s much the same way they know something is deemed a bad thing and don’t want to be called out for that thing, so they hilariously try to flip the script, all the while demonstrating they don’t really understand the term and why it’s problematic. See: racism and fascism. They claim Democrats are the real racists for…some inane reason (for supposedly “cancelling” some white man, for instance, or because they are seeing too many brown people on their screens, or…). Or that Democrats are the real fascists because…donnie is facing questions in court for his illegal activities, or because a xtian saw a rainbow flag somewhere, or…
I guess they heard normal Americans talking about how Handmaid’s Tale is a rabid winger’s wet dream, and just did a “no u” on it…
I do so look forward to a day when I never, ever have to give one thought in the world about what this rabid minority wants.
