Gosh, I really wish people would stop taking that Handmaid's Tale seriously, it's a really BAD dystopian novel, with a ridiculous premise that only hardline feminists could imagine, and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Trump's America.  This is some weird media hysteria.  

The book is certainly nowhere near the quality of 1984 and Brave New World, or even something like Canticle for Leibowitz, if anyone remembers that one.

And if you ask me, Brave New World is a far scarier outcome for the future, and in fact in the first world, we're far closer to that than any of these authoritarian nightmares.   Bread and circuses always wins out over terror and domination; although those that rule seek the same end: control of the people.
