I've never watched the Handmaiden's Tale and put it on the other day. OMG! Some of the similarities of the decent into fascism are terrifying!! The protests, the senseless arrests on the street and in homes, the fear, the treatment of gays, the fake Christianity, the so-far-anyway, intimidation of the free press, the removal of signs and closing of buildings... It's almost like the 2025 people read the book for a to-do-list.

You are so right. I'm several seasons behind because it started to be too painfully real.

I keep talking about what is coming next as in TRUSK activating the Insurrection Act, and keep getting told NO it is never going to happen. Please you are being so dramatic…are you ok? It sounds like you are a raving lunatic that has been indoctrinated…how come no one seems violence coming and coming really soon

My BP was out of my normal range also. Thought it was cold medication I took, but maybe that wasn’t the only reason.

You summed it all up and tied it in a bow! I think we’re going to prevail after all.
