How to know when you've crossed over to full, freakin' paranoia?? When you read an article like this & immediately envision legislation to grow "abandoned" frozen embryos via artificial wombs so they can become neglected, traumatized kids--oops, I mean properly-educated RW voters. Voila... the next anti-abortion tool. 🤦‍♀️

I def need a day away from the computer.

Ich gucke gerade nochmal “The Handmaid’s Tale”. Bedrückend war das ja immer - das Buch, der Film, die Serie. Was mich nun bestürzt, ist, dass einiges gar nicht mehr so utopisch weit entfernt ist: Die Erstarkung von rechtem Terror und Faschismus, weltweit. (In der Serie sind die Anfänge gut dargestellt). NSU, ein als Terroranschlag getarnter Staatsstreich (bislang misslungen: Sturm auf das Capitol), ein amerikanischer - oder anderweitiger - Gottesstaat. Mega gruselig.

Texas has become a real-life Gilead as depicted in the dystopian TV drama "The Handmaid's Tale." If the other US states don't watch out, they will be next to go "Under His Eye."

This, for me, is nothing with regard to her. But that she does so publicly in combination with doing so is a bit surprising.

If you see her as a fascist, there isn't even the hypocrisy left that you rightly point out.
If you think about #TheHandmaidsTale and the excursions to that nightclub, it is the same behavior.
Rules for thee, not for me.
I'd say a feature of any totalitarian.

However, there is only one thing different about her:
You can't cure stupid.

🤬 judge ruled ban on gender-affirming health care for minors can take effect Mon…means next wk health care providers prohib from providing gender-affirming surgeries to children. Minors who began puberty blockers or hormones before Mon will be allowed to cont. meds, but other minors won’t have access to drugs.
Some adults also lose access to gender-affirming care. Medicaid no longer cover treatments for adults, state won’t provide surgeries to prisoners https://apnews.com/article/transgender-health-minors-missouri-196d873aa5a5b8b05b0af18f0e653a16

I don't find it adequate phraseology, but it needs to be said, as it is evident:

It is the old strategy of "Keep 'Em in the Kitchen, Barefoot and Pregnant". It doesn't talk about kids.
This is no conspiracy theory. Like in they want to reestablish the patriarchy of white males.

There is no contradiction. Not in this respect.
Only in that they really should do this, if they really believed in the ". At least for the whites.

Some days, I could just jump off a cliff.

This reality is fast becoming an amalgamate of all the negative #utopias I read years ago:

#1984,
#Fahrenheit451,
#TheMatrix,
#SecondVariety,
#Wargames, #TheCompleteRobot, #Terminator including its #Skynet,
#Robocop,
#DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep? (#Bladerunner),
and
#TheHandMaidsTale.
Hopefully, we are not also heading for #TheMinorityReport already (#AGI?)

These are only the ones out of the top of my head.
