Hmmmm, I know for a fact if stinking tRump and minions don't like you, or whatever you're doing... Then for sure you're doing something amazing and correct. Every woman, rise up. I'm going out tomorrow and buying a red dress!

Already forgot whatever nasty stuff rumpass said about Ms Swift because she has built a career & following via being original & working for a living. Like musicians of the past that became renowned in their generation, Taylor Swift will be remembered. Rumpass et al on the hand will not be remembered for any sort of greatness just excessive fraud, grift, mysogeny, racism, criminal acts which includes causing unnecessary death worldwide and phenomenal heights of corruption.

I’m not necessarily a Swiftie but love Taylor. I think it’s Reputation - singular, not plural. I haven’t been able to watch the show yet - seems to be too close to reality right now. But I will watch at some point. 👍🏻

Hmm.... actually a teeny spoiler I noticed but small one. You are absolutely right about how Gilead is so close in this regime now. Except for ballot box wins for anti-fascists, what else can stop this coup? Maybe The Handmaid's Tale finale will show a more, shall we say, active confrontation?

Don't believe that the ballot box will stop this dystopian nightmare from F47 and his minions. The bill just signed by the House PUGS has a section devoted to giving the orange one the authority to suspend and cancel elections. For any reason he deems.

I don't, that's why I mentioned "active confrontation". It is obvious this regime has no intention of having a 2026 election unless they rig it completely to elect only Republicans. I read about the suspend and cancel elections portion of this coup enabling bill, among other egregious anti-democracy sections. The outrage translating into a coup to overturn this coup is not happening yet. Major media is not taking this regime's outright fascsim as seriously as it should, which means they are complicit in this authoritarian takeover, sadly.

So, Taylor's not hot since you said you hated her?

OOPS. Really bad timing there, Donnie boy.

I always liked Look What You Made Me Do. The re-recorded version is awesome and so very well placed in the show The Handmaid's Tale. I'm shook.

The song fit the scene as perfectly as the series captures our current political calamity.

It was AWESOME.

That episode was the best of the whole series IMO. I've watched it 3 times already. But the opening sequence gave me goosebumps.

It is so close to what is happening today….it IS sometimes hard to watch…..But to see the formerly downtrodden women rise up IS MAGNIFICENT!
