Four months ago, California Governor Patrick Bateman released a searing ad in which two young women approaching a state line are pulled over by a mean redneck cop who drags them out their car to make them take a pregnancy test, then arrests one for traveling while pregnant:
They’re really going to lose their minds when they realize JD Vance’s wife is an Ivy League biglaw attorney and not a handmaiden living in his basement.
It has always irritated me how little blowback Margaret Atwood has ever got for her moral cowardice in locating The Handmaid's Tale in precisely the country where it was least likely to actually happen. She had plenty of much better choices after all didn't she?
She has a *very* bad reputation in Toronto/Canadian literary circles. She lives in an area of Toronto near two subway lines and fights tooth and nail against any development proposal that might, just *might* mean some average peons can afford to live within her rarified oxygen space. I've always thought she was ridiculously overrated.
Meanwhile the cadre in Sacra-Mental is working on passing legislation to give illegal aliens $150,000 loans for down payments on home purchases. If they treat you like shit, constantly lie to you, and are trying to make you obsolete, WHY DO YOU LIBS VOTE FOR THIS? Spank me some more, Brylcream Dracula.
Apparently the Left likes a bit of masochistic abuse to go with their drag queen story hours and lockdowns. It’s very odd. I do not recognize this type of behavior as American, particularly since they can vote it away🤷🏼
He's my rep and I can't stand what he does. This photo is from a kind of free-for-all street fair; they even have a special one that embraces kink life. Did I mention monkeypox?
The logic is, the more you abase yourself, the purer your soul.
Not that the people doing this are christians in any way, but there's historical precedence for that kind of logic among various sub-sets of christianity:
Suffering is divine - the more you suffer the closer to Jesus you get. Enter flagellants and such.
And from there the leap to humiliating and hurting others for the good of their soul. . . well, it's just a "jump to the left" as the tune goes.
Sorry but that is a perversion of Christianity that leaves out the meaning of humility. This is a kind of embrace of what once would be viewed as people's neuroses/emotional problems. And *control* is the name of the game
Very much so. An endless stream of "this ad is so scary I do not want Trump to make the Handmaid's Tale come true!" Somewhere a bot farm is earning a nickel a post.
But let me list who I know with whom I am SURE this ad would be very effective...
Let's see, both sisters in law, (and probably their effeminate husbands) my next door neighbor, my ex business partner (I watched him have a huge TDA meltdown once) , especially his wife... a few dozen others...
Even "moderate" liberal women run home to the "they will take away our rights for abortions!" when they are losing (e.g. always) the debate on ANY policy.
The good news is, by playing the card form the bottom of the deck, it means they have no more cards.
My favorite comment was some idiot who correlated the declining birthrate with Roe v. Wade being overturned. Yes, the birthrate is declining. Killing unborn children might, just might, have something to do with that.
But this crap works on the older feminist! I have a client that mentions Handmaiden and Trump together anytime politics comes up in our conversation. 🙄
Anyone that read handmaidens tale & didn’t think it was just a weird crazy book is clearly weird & crazy (btw how many men actually read that book?) There were so many contradictions & the fact that the left co-opted it was very confusing to me. Their constant moral outrage & extreme rhetoric fools people into believing they must be really informed & know what they’re talking about. I realized they’re just fools.
They all get government funded Cadillac Healthcare plans. My go to insult for these people isbnowbtobsaybibwosh we still used Spartan Law on sickly children. They ask why before the8 even know whatbit is or ask for an explanation. I then tell them that they would have all been dashed against cliff walls into the sea.
Longstreet is correct; the domination fantasy is clearly true. I was alluding to the importance of status in addition to the virility. 'Handmaid' and 50 shades, Mr. Big, etc. are not just women submitting to virility, but also high status.
The men doing the breeding happen to always be of social nobility. These stories could easily be about breeding with the underclasses, slaves, even foot soldiers, but no, it's always the lords.
Like all of leftism, what it claims to be fighting with all that anti-reality progress is just what is manifested into reality.
The post-dating app sexual dystopia is already here. The 'hate' filled men who were paying attention years ago called it. Just as we know what's coming next but have to keep pretending that it's just a few bad apples in the system that need to be vooted out. Or in. Or back in and back out. You know the thing.
Trump left it to the states to decide. The comments madee want to puke. I'm so ready to get this election to be done and over with. Then we will know where we stand so we can act appropriately. Reading these articles on Substack are an emotional rollercoaster. Just when I think everything is going to be ok I read another that kills it. I guess it's better that watching TV news, all negative against Trump all the time and nothing about true policies.
The hyperbole on this issue is starting to make me sick. Bateman is an idiot and his state is bleeding population at a record rate, almost in exact proportion of the states he dispises are growing. I wonder why that is???
As sick as that sounds in my state it may be close to the truth. The very progressive abortion states like IL also passed laws allowing 14 yo & older to get abortions without parental consent. Why would this “dad” cheerily be driving his daughter when she wouldn’t have to reveal anything to any adult…unless he’s her sex trafficker pimp or incestuous dad.
The only thing realistic about this is that the girl is on her phone, through lights and sirens, right up to the point where smokey pokes his porkchop through the window to drop some polite stale pale male totalitarian tingles.
Which is a big part of how we get feral progressive hysterics defining the political landscape. 17 years of priming direct to the hindbrain. The rest is easy peasy.
What is also notable is that it is not mom driving daughter, but proud progressive dad. Another truth that slips out; the highest and best use of prog fatherhood is in the enabling of the sacred female journey into the progressive hive. A Good Dad will let nothing get in the way of her trajectory.
The perversion of men's natural instinct to protect women and children through facilitating the killing of his own grandchild is peak death cult.
Of course, this should not be confused with calling the top on the death cult. Death cult is a pozzitive feedback loop. So stop being so negative. Let progress have her cake and eat it too. The only way out is through.
Despair not. All they have left is FEELZ. Fickle and fleeting and disloyal by nature. Feelz is a mercenary force. Those tend to not fare well in time.
They are so far into their own delusion the only way out is to keep digging.
Of course, given they are clutching the Black Lady close to their bosom and seem want to collect all of the hearts on the table, there is a small chance they could shoot the moon.
Far more important than some campaign is if real people at the table of life wake up and notice that they are collecting hearts.
It only takes one heart withheld to send Baal to the cleansing fire. I like our chances.
Just don’t tell them. They can vax and boost themselves til their immune system goes into full meltdown. I have partners who haven’t missed a booster and STILL get the latest C19 variant; I smirk and move on…
I saw some interview, some young blonde guy, trolling the DNC. He asked a young 20 or 30 something, if you had to choose between democracy and abortion what would you choose?
You'd think there wasn't a dozen types of birth control available and of course(gasp) there's always abstinence if birth control isn't readily available. Many many women have gone a lifetime without unplanned pregnancies.
You’d think getting an abortion was like getting your period for the first time - a right of passage that every female experiences. Who are these people?
I could not even watch them. My retard quotient has reached a limit today.
^^^This!!^^^
Me neither. I'll take Chris's word for it
me too
They’re really going to lose their minds when they realize JD Vance’s wife is an Ivy League biglaw attorney and not a handmaiden living in his basement.
THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK WAKE UP SHE HAD TO HAVE BABIES

The novel accurately described how easily the state could cancel your credit and debit cards.
Oh that's coming with either candidate, with one it will or might just happen slower.
DIGITAL ID
atwood has since publicly mused that she could just as easily have done a 180 with the escape route
It was a boring book.
¡¡¡NOT IF YOU HAVE A UTERUS, SCREEEEEECH!!! (JK, it was super boring)
HOW DO YOU KNOW I DON’T???
Lolol!
Like!
me too
If I could like this a million times I would
Must have been good, it's deleted
She modeled it on actual oppression (I heard) but didn’t have the courage to call out actual oppression where it occurs
Compare the adulation of Atwood's 100% fictional tale with how feminists have memory-holed "Not Without My Daughter" and unpersoned Betty Mahmoody.
(Here, that is. Might be different in USA/Canada?)
In Sweden, Swedish female feminists made sure it disappeared off the shelves of public libraries two decades ago.
Please. It was fiction.
And that they have biracial children..
Meanwhile the cadre in Sacra-Mental is working on passing legislation to give illegal aliens $150,000 loans for down payments on home purchases.

Symbolic rub-your-face-in-it behavior. There's no appropriation for it. It's a middle finger to the normals, not a real program.
Understood. They are just trying to demoralize the people. Again, vide supra …
It's kind of amazing how much degradation and demoralization are built into the daily operation of the machine.
Apparently the Left likes a bit of masochistic abuse to go with their drag queen story hours and lockdowns. It’s very odd. I do not recognize this type of behavior as American, particularly since they can vote it away🤷🏼
Our most influential state senator:

That seems accurate albeit pathetically sad.

It was better when the masochists stayed in the monasteries.
“Brylcream Dracula”. Lol 😂
Crackhouses at state expenses. Just wait.
Do you think I could apply for that "loan" from over here, or is physically going there a requirement?
Are you a climate refugee or an imperialism refugee? May affect loan limits.
They already changed the wording on the paperwork to.inckude illegals. This IS BUT ONE REASON WHY WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS ARE IMPORTANT.
TBEY DONT CHWNGE willy-nilly.
The comments on YT look so perfectly fake!
Very much so. An endless stream of "this ad is so scary I do not want Trump to make the Handmaid's Tale come true!" Somewhere a bot farm is earning a nickel a post.
There is probably a fair amount of bot traffic...
But let me list who I know with whom I am SURE this ad would be very effective...
Let's see, both sisters in law, (and probably their effeminate husbands) my next door neighbor, my ex business partner (I watched him have a huge TDA meltdown once) , especially his wife... a few dozen others...

The good news is, by playing the card form the bottom of the deck, it means they have no more cards.
The bad news is the last card still "works".
I actually feel very sorry for you through the interwebz. I can not imagine having a biz partner like that.
Had to be awful.
I've seen what you describe in the people I associate with as well.
My favorite comment was some idiot who correlated the declining birthrate with Roe v. Wade being overturned. Yes, the birthrate is declining. Killing unborn children might, just might, have something to do with that.
Generally speaking, I wonder who the bot farm workers would vote for?
Putin!

The way they depict those cops is how they view every single American who doesn't buy wholeheartedly into their dogmatic beliefs.
They cant be reasoned with, they can only be defeated.
They will never stop, nothing is out of bounds for them. Many of them are your neighbors, relitives
Your arguments will never work with them. They will impose their immorality on your children.
There will be blood. It will be yours.
Vote for the right to murder your unborn child. Vote BLUE!!!
Vote to make abortion a sacrament, and the only true expression of identity.
I vote for eliminating humans from the planet... before we pave the entire thing over.
I’m starting to question Darwin. Shouldn’t these people be dying off from their ignorance? It seems like they continue to multiply in large numbers.
They don't have kids ... but they often get into positions where they greatly influence other people's kids.
They all get government funded Cadillac Healthcare plans. My go to insult for these people isbnowbtobsaybibwosh we still used Spartan Law on sickly children. They ask why before the8 even know whatbit is or ask for an explanation. I then tell them that they would have all been dashed against cliff walls into the sea.
All the women have to do is tell the cop they’re in the country illegally and he’ll let them go, no problem.
Liberal cat ladies secretly fantasize about being force-bred by a virile man.
Your off-color comment is off by 50 shades.
It’s perfect. It actually explains it. Then there is mental retardation. Bot farms. Communism. What’s more believable?
I was being a bit too oblique.

Spoiler alert: the dad is the one that got her pregnant and he works for the Lincoln project.
I thought the Lincoln Project bros only fancied boys.
Hahaha Clay …. You win 🥇

The romanticizing era of women’s rights is being elevated by the Harris campaign, IT IS NAUSEATING FUCKHOOLERY.

And yes I’m a female
still time to edit if you change your mind...the comment i mean ;)
but don't you dare skip a flu shot or covid booster and expect to be allowed in polite company!
Just don’t tell them. They can vax and boost themselves til their immune system goes into full meltdown. I have partners who haven’t missed a booster and STILL get the latest C19 variant; I smirk and move on…
I saw some interview, some young blonde guy, trolling the DNC. He asked a young 20 or 30 something, if you had to choose between democracy and abortion what would you choose?
She mealy-mouthed--can't I have both? No.
Well, then, of course--she would choose abortion.
We are in full-on moral collapse.
bsn
You'd think there wasn't a dozen types of birth control available and of course(gasp) there's always abstinence if birth control isn't readily available. Many many women have gone a lifetime without unplanned pregnancies.
The kind of women with a strong sense of personal responsibility don’t tend to be so adamantly focused on unrestricted abortions
And if they are so against procreating at this time, there a pill, isn’t there? They call it the morning after pill? Why?
You’d think getting an abortion was like getting your period for the first time - a right of passage that every female experiences. Who are these people?
Whoever that woman is should be publicly shamed as a slut any chance one gets.
Do yout think he asked her what she was doing later?
