It feels alot like margaret atwood wasn't writing fiction at the moment. The religious and/or far right wing seems to be getting their way over there and it honestly feels like the handmaids tale is their vision. At least that is my take here from the other side of the pond.
As an American woman, I’m just waiting for the day they disable my credit card… that’s how the show starts out.
That's scary as hell! I also worry about how the world is changing because of your current admimistration, if you can call it that, but actually fearing about your basic rights like that really sucks. Wish you all the best and hope it never comes to extremes like that!

Yeah, I've been referring to them as the Gilead Party fairly often since the show came out. (I missed the book somehow.)
