I’m currently watching Handmaid’s Tale for the first time (the show, not the movie. I haven’t seen the movie). I’ve never read the book either so no spoilers please. Anyway, it’s eerie how many things are lining up. Like you said, supposed to be a warning, not a guidebook.

This is the worst timeline. 1984 was a warning not an instruction manual.

I feel like I’d have an existential crisis if I started watching that show these days. Good luck.

In a way, that is what DOGE attempted to be…by people who don’t understand what smart is supposed to mean…and ended up getting grifted, because that is what they all think it means.
