when peeps ask, how could the germans elect hitler knowing what he said about jews, about marginalized peeps.
goebbels knew how to appeal to the dominant white majority who felt victimized by the world after ww1 & needed convenient scapegoats to blame.
when peeps ask how atwood could write a gilead & how could a gilead come into being?
this is how.
it's the serena joys of the world.
it's all in the book. parallels to how we are & who we are & why we do what we do.
@singlemaltgirl 2020 was the Beer Hall Putsch except Trump never went to jail (thanks Merrick). Now Jan 20, 2025 will be January 30, 1933. Russia will take Ukraine (and won't stop there). China will be ready to take Taiwan and Trump will probably ask them to make free chips for us for a decade for protection. If these crazy fuckers actually try to deport millions, we're going to have another civil war (I will be hiding people). If the fascists win, the American experiment is truly over.
