Who will be to blame if Aunt Lydia comes a knockin'

[Soph0571]

As America seems to possibly be on the brink of a possible descent into a form of theocratic dictatorship who will be to blame?

Of course, the right wing arseholes who are running in that direction at indecent speed - that goes without saying

However they are not the only ones with hands covered in blood - I can think of a few....

So, who will be to blame if Aunt Lydia becomes reality?

1. And then they came.....

2. Aunt Lydia?

[MissB]

3. It is a reference to The Handmaids Tale

She is a character in the series (been too long since I’ve read the book; she may well be in there too.)

She’s responsible for keeping the Handmaids in line - she rules them, trains them, breaks them and not necessarily in that order.

4. And what will be your assigned role thereafter?

Being an Old who has raised an adult child (who had better get her fertile ass out of the country right quick), I could be a Martha. And fuck some shit up. Or, it's the colonies for me. Where I will fuck some shit up before dying or being executed.

5. I think I would be in the colonies...

....or executed

6. personally, I get angrier at the people who don't vote

because they "aren't interested in politics" or think it doesn't affect them or "both parties are the same" and so on. I actually get angrier at people who completely waste their opportunity to take part in democracy, people who are apathetic or uncaring, than I do at even the third-party voters (who I feel like are largely disaffected Republicans anyway...at least the "libertarians" are, so despite the narrow margins in our general elections I'm not totally convinced we can pin 2016 so much on the wasted third party votes...but I sure do get pissed off thinking about people who just don't bother to vote.)
