[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something that I don't buy....Serena's mother. Giliad is still a very young "country" (Serena was instrumental in the movement that led to its founding) but we're supposed to buy that a woman in her 60s or early 70s has bought into the cult totally hook, line and sinker after living 50+ years as an American? I just don't buy it. I get that she's a shallow woman who loves gloating that her daughter is a powerful "celebrity" but I still don't believe she'd be so entrenched in their new nation. [/quote]

I buy it. This isn’t far fetched at all. Think about today’s America and how many women evangelicals and right wingers would love - and actively promote - a Theocracy, to include female subservience to men in marriage and who see women as mere vessels for babies. Serena’s mom strikes me as someone who would be buddies with Karen Pence (aka Mother). Think about the woman like Kay Ivey. She’d have no problem fitting into Gillead along with Mother Pence. That’s what makes HMT so unnerving; there are aspects of this society alive and well in today’s America.[/quote]
