[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't watch this (first I don't have hulu..) but I love the discussion. I think dystopian futures are a GREAT thing to have books and shows about. I do better with books. They are warnings not to get too comfortable. Anyone who takes that personally is not getting that this could happen. We should all be paying attention![/quote]

But the way this happens is a total revolution against a group of people who have been muted by society. I consider myself a moderate democrat, please don't get what I'm about to say twisted...

Think about the MAGA supporters and the deplorable persona we've associated them with. They're  ALL people and we can't assume ALL are racist, bigoted, extremist that we sometimes persecute them as. Just like not all Dems are mooching off the government and unwilling to work, but sure [i]some[/i] people are like that.  But we know the MAGA approached worked because it resonated with a group of Americans who feel their views are being left behind. What was once socially acceptable: rebuking homosexuality and broken families, enforcing Christianity on all levels, the nuclear family,  that has all become [i]wrong[/i] when just twenty-years ago it was more than right, it was how everyone lived.

In Post-America Gillead you have a large enough group of people who feel their values, which were once normal and accepted, are now being ostracize. Leading to enough outrage that they revolt.

Think about some of these extreme liberal stances we're taking against MAGA. If we refuse to include the opinions and values of others, regardless of how wrong they seem to us, then that's how you get a dystopian future. Killing every homophobe is not the solution. Killing every homosexual is not the solution. YET, somehow we must find a way to exist together.

We can't force a group of people to conform to our new society norms. So if you think this show rings eerily true, reconsider who you send to Washington and make sure they're seeking bipartisan solutions and not strict loyalty to the Republican or Democrat agenda.[/quote]
