Most ridiculous series ever


As with the book. Even Saudi Arabia and Iran are NOTHING like this. What makes people think the U.S could become this reality?

The woman writing the books must be insane. Social Conservatism could get out of hand in the U.S but the worst that could get is state run abortion laws.

Yeah...
I think I would have been less hard on if Atwood had set it in a fictional country instead of in the USA.
Even then, it would have been a hateful propaganda against Christians and Conservatives.
But it would have been possible for me to accept it as "fiction" or "a fantasy".
But now I can't even do that.
Whatever some of you might think, 99 % of the population in the US would never let any of this happen.
Neither can I buy Atwood's backstory about some crazy sect being able to overthrow the government.
That makes no sense at all.
If anybody had tried to do a coupe d'etate in the USA in real life, they would have been stopped right away.
Thus, I simply can't take anything in this story seriously.
Not that I'm much of a fan of the depressing dystopia genre anyway.
But I feel that this is one of the most ridiculous examples of it out there.

Christian conservatives are the biggest threat to democracy in the USA.

It's ridiculous that in such a dangerous setting, not one major character has died on this show in three seasons.

Rhymes with rain brarshing.
