GOP Rep Delivers Floor Speech Ripped From ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’
GOP Rep Delivers Floor Speech Ripped From ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’
In a speech before the House that seemed lifted right out of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian classic, Rep. Glenn Grothman said he wants the U.S. to go back to 1960.
Please consider supporting and donating to John Zarbano, the Democrat running against Glenn Grothman this fall:
John Zarbano sounds like the name of the cool, competent guy that keeps the Get Smart guy on the right track.
wishing him and you all luck!
Alright so it's not literally ripped from the book or show, just fits in perfectly. I wish the title was more clear on this because now the title is wrong.
Also fuck that guy for his shitty opinion.
Sadly, this is not an isolated opinion. Not just one fringe crazy that can be talked over and ignored. There are many more like him, that want to see things like these be reality again, and [insert Trump’s current polling numbers] percent of Americans that seem to agree at least in spirit or are somehow very, very unaware.
I fear for the future.
It’s not, but the situation has been leading towards a revolution for a longtime. Which is why unions were in place, and so many of the rich are building bunkers. We’re animals who want to believe we can prepare for anything, but reality is a cruel bitch.
You can’t prepare for after shit hitting the fan this late into the game, the only true solution will always be avoiding it hitting altogether. But the ultra rich rolled the dice, so here we are heading to the next step.
Spoken like someone who doesn’t have any personality to offer his wife? Men have a purpose in the family besides providing money, relationships are more than just transactional sex for money agreements. Republicans are sad people
Let’s bring back 1960’s taxes on the rich and corporations!
Of course they'll just pick and choose which ones they want back just like they do with the bible.
That dude has a bad case of nostalgia poisoning.
Sorry guys but this is one of the reasons I fucking hate your country.
What country are you from?
What ain't to country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
The cons just have never gotten over the 60s, have they?
They really didn’t like it when women and “colored folk” started having… opinions.
I remember when I was a youngin and heard men from the "greatest generation" bitching about things like "no fault divorce"...or women driving. Or having banking accounts. And voting.
Not even kidding. I was not surprised to know that a lot of dipshits still have resentments toward women about stuff like equal pay, or abortions, etc...that's pretty much a given and they've been hooting about this openly for a long time. But to learn that some men (that are decades younger than these greatest generation dipshits I'm thinking of) still think things like no fault divorce need to be rolled back is mind-boggling.
I guess a lot of them are deeply sexually frustrated, and imagine that if they can just corner women again, they'll be forced to have sex with these incels (or incel adjacent).
They done went and got all uppity.
The 60s was the civil rights Era. Can't have that, too horrifying
I bet he doesnt want the tax rates from back then though...
It is amazing how much the US politics confuses fiction books written as warnings if dystopies with political manuals: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaids Tale...
...Torment Nexus...
It's part of the propaganda.
"It sucks that white men don't have ALL of the power."

Jeez this is one quotable piece of shit:
They’ve taken away the purpose of the man to be part of a family.
Now that's some serious entitlement if I've ever heard it. You should earn your place in the household, not be given it because the rest of your family would be on the street without you.
Over the years, millions of children have had their dreams stolen before seeing the light of the day.
Didn't know kids deepest desires were to be abused, neglected, abandoned, or die horribly within moments of being born.
I commend the six justices who voted to overturn Roe for having the courage to base their decision on sound legal principles
Legal principles that don't include the recognition of precedent.
Under his eye
The Earth is doomed
